About Germany Balance Of Trade
Germany continued to post significant trade surpluses with key partners in 2024. The surplus with the United States stood at approximately €69.8 billion, reflecting robust demand for German industrial goods, such as motor vehicles and machinery. In contrast, Germany recorded a substantial trade deficit with China—around €66.3 billion—due to high imports of electronics, machinery, and other manufactured products. Overall, the US regained its position as Germany’s largest trading partner, slightly ahead of China, with the Netherlands ranking third.
