Sector in brief

The electrical industry is one of the largest industrial sectors in Germany and has a wide-ranging, very dynamic and innovative portfolio. A large part of the total turnover of the manufacturing sector is accounted for by the road vehicle construction sector with 21.5%, ahead of the mechanical engineering sector with 11.5%, the chemical industry with 10.8% and the electrical industry with 10.5%.

Employing 872,000 people (more than 21% of whom are engineers), the sector is the second largest employer in Germany's processing industry. Thanks to high investments in research and development, seven out of ten companies regularly launch product or process innovations.

The German electrical industry benefits particularly from future trends such as the increasing fusion of production and information technology (Industry 4.0). In order to drive the digitization of production forward, the sector associations of German IT (BITKOM), mechanical engineering (VDMA) and electrical engineering (ZVEI) have come together to set up a platform for the promotion of Industry 4.0.
