Dekra remains on track despite economic downturn - DEKRA celebrates 100 years with growth but misses ambitious targets
DEKRA has marked its 100th year as a leader in vehicle inspections and safety testing. The company now faces mixed results for 2025, with steady growth in some areas but challenges in meeting its original targets. Despite this, revenue continues to climb, and key divisions remain resilient.
Founded a century ago to improve road safety, DEKRA has expanded far beyond its roots. Today, it tests advanced driver assistance systems, AI models, and provides digital security solutions. In 2024, the company reported a 4.7% revenue rise to nearly €4.3 billion, driven by demand in sustainability and digital services.
DEKRA’s performance in 2025 reflects both progress and setbacks. While revenue growth remains positive, the company will not fully achieve its earlier targets. The focus now stays on maintaining stability in its core divisions and expanding digital and sustainability services.
