Abstract

The article examines the directions of digitalization in the German industrial sector. The article is aimed at determining the level of digitalization of the country’s industries and regions.

The primary methods used include abstract-logical analysis, employed in the study of industries and the economic structure; comparative analysis in the examination of technologies and regions where digitalization is taking place. System analysis is applied to the study of technologies and of the impact of digitalization on the overall development of the German economy.

Industries that have actively implemented digitalization measures are examined, and those lagging behind in digitalization are identified. The article presents key practices and measures for digitalization that contribute to improving the economic situation in Germany. Regions are also considered based on the degree of digitalization. An analysis of GDP dynamics and the impact of digitalization on economic growth in the country is conducted.

As a result, the main trends in digitalization that have led to structural changes in the German economy are shown. It is determined that the country’s economy is stable and weakly growing against the backdrop of instability in global market and rising global inflation.
