By 2025, Germany is projected to witness over 24,000 corporate bankruptcies, with expectations rising to more than 25,000 by 2026. This troubling trend puts over 210,000 jobs at risk, with the textiles, automotive, and healthcare sectors being the hardest hit.
In just the first quarter of 2025, 16 large companies, each with annual revenues exceeding €50 million, declared bankruptcy—this figure is double compared to the same period in the previous year.
According to the latest data from Allianz Trade and the BDI Industrial Association, the current situation is described as “worse than during the 2008 crisis.” The primary factors contributing to this decline include escalating costs, the impact of Trump’s tariff policies, and insufficient government support.
