Statistics

Economic data for Germany

Future prospects for “Medical Technology”
According to the industry association SPECTARIS e.V., the German medical-technology industry is drawing a positive balance for 2017, even if sales are slightly below expectations. Last year, total sales amounted to EUR 29.93 billion, an increase of 2.5 per cent in comparison with 2016. For 2018, SPECTARIS expects an increase of 4 per cent to a total turnover of more than EUR 30 billion for the first time. The medical-technology sector thus remains an important growth driver for the German economy and makes a significant contribution to achieving Germany’s economic-policy goals.
