In 2005 Germany, with sales of €165 billion, took third place behind USA and Japan in terms of global machine production. This was the result above all of strong exports, based on a high level of technological competitiveness. To remain internationally competitive over the long term, the domestic market for this industry needs to be revived.

Stagnating domestic demand can be raised only through innovative products. German companies can once again experience success even in this difficult market if they concentrate on specialist applications or niches and thereby gain competitive advantages through differentiation.
