German manufacturing concentrated
in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and
North Rhine-Westphalia
The added value of German manufacturing
was almost €530 billion in 2012, the majority
being created in Bavaria and Baden-
Württemberg, with North Rhine-Westphalia
not far behind. In 2011, North Rhine-
Westphalia was still the largest industrial
region. Each of these three ‘Bundesländer’
has an industrial sector that is more than
half the size of the entire sector in the
Netherlands.
The share of manufacturing
in the German economy is almost 22%,
compared with 13% in the Netherlands.
