Growth trends in production and sales in the German mechanical engineering in July 2018 at the same level of 3.2% p.a.

The Quest Trend Magazine records the growth trend as a moving annual average of the monthly indices of the Federal Statistical Office. With 105.9 index points in July 2018, this growth trend of production marked the highest value since the outbreak of the global economic crisis ten years ago.

Sales in the German machinery industry are also showing a growth trend that began in November 2014. In July 2018 it stood at 3.2% p.a., the same level as production growth. With 109.4 index points, the growth trend in sales also marks the highest value since the outbreak of the global economic crisis.

Currently the same average growth rates for production and sales signal an end to the prevailing trend to date of expressing the increasing high quality of machines from Germany, their increasing capacity and functionality in correspondingly rising prices.
