Focus worldwide industrial production

Growth rates of industrial production in countries absorbing 82% of Germany's machine exports

The annual growth rates of the industrialized countries since the overcoming of the global economic crisis are around 1% p.a.

Germany's industrial production growing at 1.8% p.a. but likely to stagnate in 2019

The current economic report notes a flattening of production development for 2018 with the probable prospect of stagnation in 2019. The report indicates the global economic factors and the related signals of industrial production in 2018.

Global economy: Structural changes and outlook

Growth trend of production and sales of German machinery industry at 3.0% resp. 3.2% p.a.

The economic report determines the current growth rates of production and sales in the German machinery industry in November 2018 since a growth trend has actually set in. This approach adapts to the market development instead of orienting itself mechanically to the months of the previous year.

Larger fluctuation range of production and sales of German machinery industry since 2012

The report extends the structural changes that have been developing in the course of global industrial production since 2000. It shows that, despite stagnating production, the range of fluctuation has increased by 17%, while the range of fluctuation in machinery industry's sales has increased by 27% despite slight sales growth.

Focus export markets of machinery industry

Machine exports to China again higher than those to the US

The machine exports to China exceeded in a razor-thin manner those to the US - for the first time since 2014. The global export markets of the German machinery industry from 2008 to 2018 Q2 at a glance.

The ranking of the ten most attractive EU countries for machine exports from Germany

49% of the machine exports from Germany point to the EU. Of those ten EU countries absorb more than 80% of those exports. The ranking of the most export-attractive EU countries for machine exports from Germany.

Growth rates of industrial production absorbing 82% of Germany's machine exports

There are only twenty countries taking 82% of the machine exports from Germany. And the growth rates of their industrial production (as indicator for machine demand) is slim above all in the EU and the US and a lot higher in China. However, the machine exports to China exhaust the growth in China only insufficiently. A decided, number-oriented overview about the real growth drivers.

Trump's reasons for protective tariffs due to US-China trade deficit misleading and hypocritical

A study of the Deutsche Bank Research deprives the reasons of the Trump administration of the factual base regarding the tariffs. The aggressive policy of Trump is going to compensate the weakening of the global position of the US.

Focus Industry 4.0 and drive technology

The degree of realization of Industry 4.0 in the sectors of the German machinery industry

With all the numerous technological solutions for Industry 4.0 that are presented at trade fairs and in trade journals, there is no systematic overview of the state of implementation of industry 4.0 in the machinery industry. Based on the market research from Quest TechnoMarketing we publish the overview, to which degree Industry 4.0 is realized or will be realized in ten sectors of the German machinery industry.

The use of servo drives at the machines is growing dynamically to 2020

The machine-builders are extendening in a specific and dynamic manner the use of servo drives at the machines to 2020. This is a result of the market survey from Quest TechnoMarketing that covers the entire electronic drive and control technology at the machines up-to-date and to 2020.
