Industry Sector Contribution to GDP in Germany (1990-2022)

Germany's industrial sector contribution to GDP was 33.5% in 1991 but declined through the 1990s, reaching 27.7% by 2000 as the country underwent economic restructuring post-reunification. Germany’s focus on automation, advanced engineering, and high-quality manufacturing stabilized the sector, allowing it to maintain around 27% through the 2000s. The 2008 financial crisis caused a temporary drop to 24.7% in 2009. However, the sector rebounded, supported by Germany’s export-oriented economy, and sustained levels around 27% in subsequent years. In 2022, the sector held at 26.9%, reflecting Germany's steady industrial strength and resilience despite global challenges, underpinned by continued investments in technology and renewable energy transition within the industrial landscape.
