German companies’ investments in China hit a four-year high in 2025, according to data compiled for Reuters
The data, from the IW German Economic Institute and previously unreported, showed investments in China climbed to over 7 billion euros ($8 billion) between January and November last year, up 55.5% from the 4.5 billion euros in 2024 and 2023.
“German companies are continuing to expand their activities in China – and at an accelerated pace,” Juergen Matthes, head of international economic policy at the IW institute, told Reuters, citing a trend to strengthen local supply chains.
German fan and motor maker ebm-papst said that last year it invested 30 million euros in the expansion of its Chinese operations, accounting for more than a fifth of total investments, in order to produce more where its customers are.
