The computer hardware production value in Germany saw considerable fluctuations from 2013 to 2023, peaking in 2015 and 2018, but experiencing a sharp drop in 2020. The overall trend shows a decline with small recoveries in 2021 and 2022. In 2023, the value stood at 3.45 billion euros, reflecting a slight year-on-year increase of 0.5% but marking a broader negative CAGR of -7.19% over the past five years. Forecasts indicate a continued downward trend with a projected CAGR of -5.59% from 2024 to 2028, culminating in a 25% reduction in production value by 2028 compared to 2023.
Future trends to watch for:
- The impact of global supply chain disruptions and semiconductor shortages.
- Innovations in computer hardware technology and potential shifts towards sustainable production methods.
- The role of emerging markets and competitive dynamics within the European Union.
