Due to the coronavirus pandemic, sales in 2020 fell by around one percent to EUR 40.1 billion. The number of employees has increased to 161,000. An export quota rate of around 70 percent testifies to the international competitiveness of innovative photonics solutions made in Germany. It is also one of Germany’s most research-heavy and innovation-dependent sectors – with average company spending of around 10 percent of total revenue on research and development – and home to an impressive number of regional and national networks and clusters that help consolidate Germany’s international technological leadership. </p> <div class="infogram-embed" data-id="4c0ef18c-83cb-4b34-a4e8-0b0cc7f2f03a" data-type="interactive" data-title=""></div> <script type="text/plain" data-usercentrics="Infogram"> !function(e,i,n,s){var t="InfogramEmbeds",d=e.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement("script");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src="https://e.infogram.com/js/dist/embed-loader-min.js",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,"infogram-async"); </script> <p></p> <div class="infogram-embed" data-id="eb25573e-174e-48fb-9f6e-df53d483db7c" data-type="interactive" data-title=""></div> <script type="text/plain" data-usercentrics="Infogram"> !function(e,i,n,s){var t="InfogramEmbeds",d=e.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement("script");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src="https://e.infogram.com/js/dist/embed-loader-min.js",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,"infogram-async"); </script> <p></p> <div class="infogram-embed" data-id="16f3fd12-e413-405d-b3d1-0ad048a1d639" data-type="interactive" data-title=""></div> <script type="text/plain" data-usercentrics="Infogram"> !function(e,i,n,s){var t="InfogramEmbeds",d=e.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement("script");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src="https://e.infogram.com/js/dist/embed-loader-min.js",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,"infogram-async"); </script> <p></p><h3>Latest Publication: Germany’s Photonics Industry</h3><span class="img-wrapper img-wrapper--content inline-picture--right" > <picture class="default-picture"> <source srcset="/resource/image/63774/fitImage/300/0/df6fb02eb97a205bc50f7289f2ceb2fc/476DEC6CBB61BC7ACB42960BED6F3677/20190514-mockup-fs-photonics-1340x754.webp 300w, /resource/image/63774/fitImage/600/0/df6fb02eb97a205bc50f7289f2ceb2fc/7AF49DD92375B7B61F2523F0647D2E3F/20190514-mockup-fs-photonics-1340x754.webp 600w, /resource/image/63774/fitImage/900/0/df6fb02eb97a205bc50f7289f2ceb2fc/CB6453514E4A001D834F0C3F548C3DA7/20190514-mockup-fs-photonics-1340x754.webp 900w" sizes="((min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px)) 300px, ((min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 1023px)) 600px, (min-width: 1024px) 900px"/> <source srcset="/resource/image/63774/fitImage/300/0/df6fb02eb97a205bc50f7289f2ceb2fc/FDDD78492B3CEED70599B1CDB8CA4DDA/20190514-mockup-fs-photonics-1340x754.jpg 300w, /resource/image/63774/fitImage/600/0/df6fb02eb97a205bc50f7289f2ceb2fc/836C1EE85E72F104A7FAEECB673D386C/20190514-mockup-fs-photonics-1340x754.jpg 600w, /resource/image/63774/fitImage/900/0/df6fb02eb97a205bc50f7289f2ceb2fc/16D95C53EAEF1AA0F6DF77DFE20D3045/20190514-mockup-fs-photonics-1340x754.jpg 900w" sizes="((min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px)) 300px, ((min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 1023px)) 600px, (min-width: 1024px) 900px"/> <img src="/resource/image/63774/fitImage/900/0/df6fb02eb97a205bc50f7289f2ceb2fc/16D95C53EAEF1AA0F6DF77DFE20D3045/20190514-mockup-fs-photonics-1340x754.jpg" alt="Fact Sheet: Photonics in Germany" title="Fact Sheet: Photonics in Germany | © GTAI" loading="lazy" /> </picture> <a data-lightbox="" href="/resource/image/63774/fitImage/900/0/df6fb02eb97a205bc50f7289f2ceb2fc/16D95C53EAEF1AA0F6DF77DFE20D3045/20190514-mockup-fs-photonics-1340x754.jpg" data-type="image" title="Enlarge image"></a> <span class="imgCopyright"> <span class="i"></span> <span class="info" > Fact Sheet: Photonics in Germany | © GTAI </span> </span> </span> <p> Download our Photonics in Germany Fact Sheet for more information on the industry in Germany.

One of the highest-growth application areas of photonic technologies is process analytics. The use of optical sensors enable the optimization of products and production processes, avoids rejects and reduces the use of raw materials. Additionally, optical measurement technologies provide a significant contribution to operational safety. Photonic sensor technologies help thus to transform production systems and products into cyber-physical systems (CPS). Germany is seeking to become an integrated industry lead market and provider for Industrie 4.0 solutions – consolidating its reputation as the world’s factory outfitter and a country capable of meeting the challenges of the digital age.</p><h3 id="toc-anchor--2">Future Mobility – Automotive 4.0</h3><p>Until not so long ago, photonics was integrated into the car only through lighting functions. However, the global auto industry is in a period of radical transformation due to the rise of e-mobility and connected and automated driving technology developments. German car manufacturers have been showing increasing interest in new technologies – especially photonics-based developments – in all areas: from powertrain, through lighting to driver assistance (ADAS) and vision systems (LIDAR). Germany is recognized the world over for its outstanding automotive industry and excellence in engineering. Germany is by some distance Europe’s leading production and sales market. The country’s world-class R&D infrastructure, complete industry value chain integration and highly qualified workforce create an internationally peerless automotive environment. It enables companies to develop cutting- edge technologies that perfectly address tomorrow’s mobility needs.</p><h3 id="toc-anchor--3">Medical Technology – Biophotonics</h3><p>Photonics has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. The use of light-based technologies in the bio- and medical sciences – also known as biophotonics – can be used effectively for very early detection of diseases, with non-invasive imaging techniques or point-of-care applications. Biophotonics is also instrumental to the analysis of processes at the molecular level, giving a greater understanding of the origin of diseases, thereby supporting prevention and new treatments. Photonic technologies also play a major role in addressing the needs of Germany’s ageing society – covering everything from pacemakers, synthetic bones and endoscopes through to the micro-cameras used in in-vivo processes. German medical technology companies invest nine percent of their revenue and deploy 15 percent of their personnel in research and development. Germany is the most important manufacturer and developer of medical technologies in Europe and the world's third largest manufacturing nation with a share of about 10 percent of worldwide medical technology production. Close collaboration between science and industry has helped establish Germany's medical technology sector as an international landmark of quality, performance and safety standards.</p> <div class="add-to-bookmarks"> <a href="" class="add-to-bookmarks__link" title="">Add to dossier</a> <button class="button" data-tooltip="Log in and add this element to a dossier.
