Unstoppable Germany: Dominant in Autos, Pharma, Tech, & More!
Germany Leads Globally in Pain Medication and Microscope Production
Wanna know what Germany's got that the world can't get enough of? Cars, chemicals, microscopes, and everything in between! That's right, Germany is more than just beer and bratwurst. 🍺🥘
According to a study by the Institute of the German Economy (IW), in about 180 out of 5,300 product categories, Germany's global export share was a whopping 30% or more in 2023. Back in 2010, that number was 240—but the real kicker? The number of areas where Germany dominates the export market with 50% or 70% shares has slightly increased since then.
What's Germany's secret sauce? Chemistry, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and non-ferrous metals, baby! You heard it right—these sectors are where Germany is getting all that export cash. For many painkillers, fertilizers, and chemical products, the global export share even reaches a staggering 90%. And that's not just it! Germany's also leading the pack in microscopes, harvesting machines, and cranes. 🔬🚜⚙️
