In December 2025, Germany experienced a 4.0% increase in exports month-on-month, reaching a 20-month high of €133.3 billion. This growth notably surpassed the anticipated 1.0% rise. The surge in exports was largely driven by increased shipments to the United States and other non-EU countries. Specifically, exports to the US, Germany's largest export market, rose by 8.9%. Additionally, there were significant increases in exports to China (10.7%), the United Kingdom (14.6%), and Russia (1.8%). Over the entirety of 2025, Germany's total exports amounted to €1.57 trillion, marking a 1.0% increase compared to 2024.
