今年前三季度德国对美出口因关税显著下滑

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report indicates that Germany's exports to the United States are expected to decline by nearly 8% year-on-year in the first three quarters of 2025, falling below the levels of 2022 due to U.S. tariffs [1][3]. - Exports of automobiles and parts to the U.S. have decreased by approximately 15%, while the machinery manufacturing and chemical products sectors have seen declines of nearly 10% each [3]. - Historically, from 2016 to 2024, Germany's exports to the U.S. maintained an average annual growth rate of about 5% [3]. Group 2 - The high tariffs imposed by the U.S. on steel, aluminum, and related products, reaching up to 50%, have significantly increased the export costs for German machinery manufacturers, contributing to the decline in exports [5]. - In addition to tariff impacts, high domestic energy prices in Germany have led to reduced production in the chemical industry, further affecting export volumes [5]. - Experts suggest that Germany should reduce its reliance on the U.S. market and accelerate the exploration of new markets in South America, India, and Indonesia, while also working to eliminate trade barriers within the EU and enhance the international competitiveness of its domestic industries [7].
