In 2025, the German auto industry faces a crossroads: on one side, a wave of bankruptcies among Auto Parts supply chain companies, massive layoffs, and weak market demand; on the other side, the EU will begin implementing new carbon emission regulations, with non-compliant companies potentially facing fines of up to 16 billion euros. Industry insiders believe that the current difficulties facing the German auto industry are not insurmountable. How to achieve continuous innovation and efficient collaboration amid market changes and policy drives, and balance short-term interests with long-term development, has become a key factor in determining the future development of the German auto industry. If opportunities for technological innovation can be seized and international market fluctuations effectively addressed, the German auto industry still has the chance to maintain its leading position in the global auto industry competition.
