Germany Services Value Added
Services value added as % of GDP NV.SRV.TOTL.ZS
Germany's services value added was 63.84% in 2025, ranked 61st globally. This represents a 0.3% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1991–2025.
Overview
Germany's services value added stood at 63.84% in 2025, a decline of +0.21% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 63.84% by 2025. Germany ranked 61st globally.
Germany’s services value added has risen steadily over the 35‑year series, moving from an all‑time trough of 56.53 in 1991 to a peak of 64.66 in 2009 before settling at 63.84 in 2025, ranking 61st globally. The post‑2008 expansion reflects the broader shift toward a service‑oriented economy, with the 2025 figure only marginally below the 2009 high and comparable to peers such as Italy (63.95) and Austria (63.60). The modest decline from the peak suggests that while Germany retains a strong services sector, growth has slowed amid structural constraints and demographic pressures. Continued investment in digital infrastructure and high‑skill labor could sustain the upward trajectory, whereas stagnation in these areas may cause the value added to plateau or retreat.
