Amusement & Theme Parks in Germany Industry Data and Analysis
In the past five years, the industry has recorded an average increase in turnover of 20.3% per year. The reason for the enormous increase in turnover was the unusually low turnover in 2020 - a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic. Industry players had to completely shut down their activities for several months and then comply with strict hygiene regulations, which led to a significant loss of turnover. In 2020, the permitted maximum capacity utilisation of amusement parks averaged around 46%, while it had already increased to around 65% in 2021. Due to the further containment of the pandemic and the easing of restrictions, record visitor numbers were recorded again in 2022. IBISWorld expects an increase in sales of 2.5% for the current year compared to the previous year and sales of 3.3 billion euros.
