VDMA raised its forecast for mechanical engineering

VDMA in  mechanical engineering - forecast made in the German mechanical engineering industry in the first Half went very well. It is expected that in the second Half will not go on like stormy. The industry association VDMA appears optimistic. He increased his forecast.

German mechanical engineering recorded a boom

Due to the improved economic situation increased the German mechanical engineering in 2010 its growth. On Monday it has increased production from previously forecast 3% to 6%. According to the Association of Chief Hannes Hesse, new orders in recent months would have been very good. Furthermore, the number sets of countries, recorded a boom, always more, with the largest signals come from the Asian and South American emerging economies (eg India, China and Brazil).

Rising demand from abroad

Even in Poland, Switzerland, Russia and Turkey is increasing the demand. It is an export industry. In this industry operate about 900,000 employees, so is the engineering one of the most important sector in the German economy.

The growth in recent months

According to the VDMA-CEO Hesse, production increased in the range of plant and machinery in the first Although half of the year in real terms by 0.5%. However, we decline recorded since the beginning of this year from March immense increases again. According to recent calculations show in July, a growth of more than 9%.

The comparison of growth with the previous years

The VDMA has for the month of August so far no figures. Expectations of Hesse in future we will go positive - particularly because of the low comparative figures from last year. If the production increase in 2010 in real terms by 6%, so the industry will reach the average level from 2005. The industry generated in 2009 a volume of 151 billion euros, representing a decrease of one quarter.

This growth affects all branches

Moreover, the orders set for the month of February with high growth rates in double digits. All sectors recorded a growth now. Both turbines, Foundry, robots and rubber and plastic machines will be in the near future as demand in 2008.

Euphoric mood is dampened

In addition, this industry still take animals normalized by a catching up "and" the incoming orders continued. " In addition, dampened the euphoria of the VDMA chief, because you should speak of the positive numbers, "not dizzy". The orders are considered as a whole at the level of mid-2006. Despite all show up at the Finance of major projects are still difficulties.

The number of employees will increase

Other hand it looks at the number of employees after one year of job cuts better again. In the industrial sector are 904 000 employees working at the half. In the opinion of Hesse will be working by the end of 2010 939.000 employees in this industry, which is the level of 2009. However, one expects the VDMA with the fact that the minimal number of employees could be below that level.
