The US market is not only a driver of technological progress, but also a key growth market for German companies. According to the “GABO 2024” study, more than two thirds of German companies view the USA as a significant or dominant market in their global strategy. Already 40% of these companies have manufacturing facilities in the United States, and another 12% plan to expand into the U.S. market in the next three years. This development shows that German companies have recognized the strategic value of the US market.
A notable aspect is that the expansion into the USA also has a positive impact on business activities in Germany. Around 38% of German companies have been able to hire staff in the last three years to meet increasing demand from the USA. In addition, 40% of companies report increased production in Germany, which was boosted by growing demand from the USA. This underlines the close interconnectedness of the markets and the opportunity to benefit both in the USA and at home.
Support measures and political framework conditions
The US government's recent measures, such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), have some positive effects on German companies. Around 23% of the companies surveyed recorded an increase in sales in the USA due to these support programs. At the same time, there are also positive effects in Germany, as some companies have expanded their production capacities to meet increasing demand.
Interestingly, 14% of companies reported that the US incentives led them to increase production in Germany, while only 9% moved some of their production to the US. This shows that the competitive advantage of German companies is based not only on their export strength, but also on their ability to flexibly scale innovation and production.
