There is no doubt that the German market holds immense appeal for Dutch companies. With as many as 10,000 Dutch companies spreading their wings towards Germany every year, this translates to an impressive average of 27 new companies per day making the move. This trend is particularly embraced by micro-enterprises, which mainly target the German export landscape.

A deeper dive into the figures reveals a remarkable pattern

In the year 2018, an impressive 10.6 thousand companies chose to export goods to Germany for the first time. The vast majority of these companies were characterised as micro enterprises, with over 83 per cent of these newcomers having fewer than 10 employees. This illustrates the attractiveness of the German market, even for the most modest players in the Dutch entrepreneurial landscape.

The size of the German market is downright impressive

Some 50,000 Dutch companies have set their sights on German soil, 10,000 of which focus exclusively on exporting to Germany. What is even more remarkable is that another 31,000 Dutch companies offer their services in this promising market. This estimate clearly shows that as many as 91% of these companies belong to SMEs, while the remaining 9% can be labelled large companies.

These figures reflect not only the sheer size of the German market, but also the undisputed potential it offers for Dutch companies, regardless of their size or specialisation. The German market is a place where opportunities abound, and it is clear that Dutch companies are embracing these opportunities with open arms.

If you are a Dutch company looking to expand its horizons and push the boundaries of success, the German market is undoubtedly a place where you will find remarkable growth opportunities and possibilities.
