Statistics 2018

Economic data for Germany

Future prospects for “Medical Technology”
The German manufacturers of medical technology drew a positive balance for 2018 according to the industry association SPECTARIS e. V.: For the first time, the Euro 30 billion turnover limit was broken with a total turnover of Euro 30.28 billion. For the current year, a further increase in turnover of 2 to 3 per cent is expected. This means that medical technology remains an above-average driving force of the German economy.
