Factory Orders in Germany are reported using monthly changes in the volume of new orders received by manufacturers. Factory Order figures in Germany can be very volatile and misleading because they are heavily affected by geopolitical events, temporary shocks in demand and business deals which may only happen once.

Latest Updates

Factory orders in Germany shrank 2.9% mom in July 2025, missing market forecasts of a 0.5% growth and following a downwardly revised 0.2% drop in the prior month. It was the third straight monthly decline and the steepest pace since January, largely due to a 38.6% slump in orders for aircraft, ships, trains, and military vehicles after June’s surge in large-scale contracts. Demand also weakened for electrical equipment (-16.8%), while automotive orders rose 6.5%. Orders fell for capital goods (-2.4%) and intermediate goods (-5.3%) but rose for consumer goods (+4.3%). Foreign demand dropped 3.1%, with falls from both non-euro area (-3.8%) and within the bloc (-2.8%), while domestic orders dipped 2.5%. Excluding large-scale contracts, demand rose 0.7%. On a less volatile three-month average, factory orders edged up 0.2% between May and July, helped by front-loaded demand ahead of U.S. tariff hikes and signs of stabilization in manufacturing across Germany and the broader euro zone.
