Nur China exportiert weltweit mehr Klimaschutz-Technologie als Deutschland. Bei klimafreundlicher Verkehrstechnik hat die Volksrepublik Deutschland auf dem ersten Platz abgelöst.
Germany ranks second globally in the export of climate protection technologies, according to a study ahead of the World Climate Conference in Antalya. China leads with a 26% share of global exports, followed by Germany at 10%, according to a KfW and Deloitte report. The goods analyzed include solar panels, wind turbine technology, battery storage, heat pumps, and electric and hybrid vehicles.
Global trade in these products grew by an average of 8% annually from 2017 to 2025, outpacing the overall goods trade growth of 4.7%. KfW chief Stefan Wintels highlighted the immense opportunities climate technologies present for Germany, stating that climate protection is now a matter of industrial, trade, and location policy. Worldwide, the trade in environmental and climate technologies reached $2.8 trillion in 2025, or 11.4% of all goods trade.
However, China has surpassed Germany in exports of climate-friendly transport technologies, holding an 18% share compared to Germany's 17%. From 2020 to 2023, Germany was still the top exporter in this sector, followed by China. The product group includes mainly electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as rail vehicles and bicycles.
