Industrie: Deutsche Autobauer verlieren weiter an Gewinn – verdienen aber mehr als andere
Während die Konkurrenz weltweit wächst, schrumpft bei Volkswagen, Mercedes und BMW das Geschäft. Eine EY-Studie zeigt: Ein historischer Wettbewerbsvorteil wird zunehmend zur Belastung.
Three major German automakers, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, are continuing to lose market share compared to international competitors, according to analysis by auditing firm EY. In the first half of the year, their combined revenue fell by 2.9 percent to around 284 billion euros, a decline from the previous year. The three German manufacturers are facing their third consecutive first-half revenue drop.
EY notes that this is the third consecutive quarterly decline for these German giants, with 15 other automakers reporting revenue increases in the same period. Only 16, 17 and 19 in the ranking, the German companies are lagging significantly behind their global counterparts. Tesla, Suzuki and Geely showed the strongest growth, while the profitability of the German automotive industry remains weak, with EBIT for these companies down 19.0 percent to 13.0 billion euros.
Despite still leading significantly in revenue compared to other manufacturers, this is the lowest value since the 2020 pandemic year.
