Painting & Glazing in Germany Industry Data and Analysis
The painting and glazing industry can look back on five mixed years. Thanks to the largely positive economic situation until the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, many companies in Germany were able to expand and not only requested simple painting and glazing work, but also placed specialised orders for industrial applications with industry players. However, falling consumer spending on home maintenance and the low demand for painting and glazing work during the pandemic led to a decline in sales in 2021. Residential construction and the refurbishment business remained the main sales drivers during this period. Due to demographic changes, the need for housing increased, particularly in urban centres, which meant that a lot of new housing had to be created, significantly increasing demand for the industry's services. High construction material costs and the increase in the European base rate in summer 2022 led to a slowdown in construction activity in Germany from 2023, which also led to a slight slump in orders in building construction. In the period from 2020 to 2025, industry turnover grew by an average of 0.8% per year. Painters and glaziers in Germany are expected to generate total sales of €20.5 billion in 2025, which corresponds to further growth of 1.6% compared to the previous year. Profit margins are likely to improve slightly in view of falling energy prices.
