Germany’s automotive industry faces severe challenges due to U.S. tariffs and other factors. A recent report by consulting firm Ernst & Young Global shows that approximately 51,500 jobs were lost in Germany’s auto sector over the past year, accounting for nearly 7% of the total number of jobs, making it the hardest-hit industrial sector. Major manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, along with suppliers such as Bosch, Continental, and ZF, have announced cost-cutting plans, while Porsche plans to significantly reduce its battery-powered vehicle business. As of June 30, 2025, total industrial employment in Germany fell by 2.1%, equivalent to about 114,000 jobs, with industrial sales declining for eight consecutive quarters, dropping 2.1% year-on-year in Q2. Ernst & Young Global predicts this downward trend in industrial employment will continue. Industry insiders cite U.S. tariffs, high energy costs, and weak domestic demand as major pressures. Ernst & Young Global’s Germany managing partner Jan Bruecher highlights a steep decline in exports to the U.S., posing clear risks to Germany’s industrial sector and underscoring the need for caution amid ongoing challenges.
