In July 2024, industrial production in Germany decreased by 2.4% compared to June, according to the German Federal Statistical Office (Destatis).

Declines in the production of electrical equipment (-7%) and metal products (-3.8%) also had a significant negative impact. In July, there was also a decrease in the output of means of production by 4.2%, intermediate goods by 2.8%, and consumer goods by 2.1%.
