Positive Signals for Germany’s Plastics Industry
The latest report from the ifo Institute – Leibniz Institute for Economic Research shows that business sentiment among manufacturers is improving, especially for companies in the plastics and rubber sectors, where the business climate index jumped by 14.2 points, the highest level in two years. While challenges remain, expectations for the months ahead are brightening.
This upswing comes at an important time. With new orders stabilising and trade tensions easing, companies are feeling more secure in planning ahead. At Listgrove Ltd, we are already seeing the impact of this shift. More businesses in Germany are beginning new hiring projects, planning for growth and investing in leadership recruitment.
Germany is a central hub for plastics manufacturing in Europe; this renewed confidence is an encouraging sign for the wider industry. While recovery won’t happen overnight, there is certainly a positive shift in momentum.
