The automotive industry is undergoing its most severe crisis in recent history, while the machinery sector has reported two consecutive years of falling revenues. The chemical industry is also in a precarious position, with only the pharmaceutical, electrical, and digital sectors showing slight optimism. Geopolitical tensions, particularly from the Ukraine and Iran conflicts, have disrupted supply chains, leading to increased raw material costs. In 2025, industrial revenues fell by 1.1% year-on-year, with insolvencies rising to their highest level since 2013, reflecting a troubling trend in employment and investment within the sector.
