Deutschland Importe

Germany’s imports dropped by 1.3% month-on-month to a three-month low of EUR 112.5 billion in August 2025, swinging from a revised 0.7% decline in the previous month and pointing to the second straight monthly fall. The latest figure was worse than market estimates of a 0.5% decrease, reflecting weak domestic demand and uncertainty from U.S. trade policies. Purchases from the EU countries shrank 1.9%, with declines from both the Eurozone (-0.7%) and non-Eurozone (-4.2%). Also, arrivals from non-EU countries fell 0.7%, driven by lower imports from China (-4.5%), the UK (-4.6%), and Russia (-8.5%), but grew from the U.S. (3.4%). Considering January–August, total imports grew 4.8% year-on-year to EUR 909.3 billion.
