During the first three quarters of 2025, weak demand and a depressed domestic market weighed heavily on Germany’s machine tool industry. Orders and production declined, with only limited support from foreign markets. Capacity utilization and employment remained below long-term averages, pointing to a slow and fragile recovery.

The 2024 AMB Stuttgart Metalworking Exhibition focused on the automotive industry’s transition to electric vehicles. Machine tool manufacturers showcased automation solutions integrating robotic arms to enhance flexibility and efficiency. Four major trends emerged: intelligent automation, robotic applications, integration of inspection instruments, and highly scalable production lines. Exhibitors demonstrated advanced technologies such as AI, sensors, and digital twin applications, along with unmanned production and flexible manufacturing cells, delivering customized and efficient solutions for evolving manufacturing needs.
