German environmental industry remains strong

Environmental protection continues to be an important factor in the German economy, say two recent reports by the German Environment Agency (UBA) on production, sales, foreign trade and on research and patent applications in the environmental industry. The reports claim that German companies produced environmental protection goods worth over 86 billion euros in 2018 - about six percent of Germany's total industrial production. Germany's 13.6 percent share of international trade ranks second behind China (14.9 percent). Demand for German environmental protection goods continues to be high in virtually every region of the world and across all environmental protection fields.
