German exports to China fell year-on-year in the first half of 2026, pointing to a deeper restructuring of bilateral trade as China moves up the manufacturing value chain, Chinese analysts said. They also cautioned that the decline should not be read as diminishing China's importance to German businesses, given the deep economic ties and the continued benefits of cooperation for both sides.
Germany's first-half exports to China fell by more than 12 percent year-on-year to just under 37 billion euros ($43 billion), while imports from China rose 8.9 percent to 91.8 billion euros, according to data from Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI) cited by Reuters on Sunday. Germany's trade deficit with China widened to about 55 billion euros from 40 billion euros a year earlier, the report said.
Reuters cited Corinne Abele, GTAI's East Asia expert, as pointing to weaker domestic demand and the fact that German companies are increasingly producing inside China.
Commerzbank economist Vincent Stamer said that China's diminishing reliance on Germany showed that the country is becoming more independent of Western powers and catching up technologically, according to Reuters.
China has continued to strengthen its capabilities in sectors including new-energy vehicles, artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing, enabling more products and technologies that previously depended on imports to be supplied domestically, Zhao Junjie, a senior research fellow at the Institute of European Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Sunday.
"This means the structure of China-Germany trade is changing," Zhao said, noting that as Chinese industries move up the value chain, China's reliance on some German industrial products is declining, while Chinese companies are becoming more competitive in sectors where German manufacturers traditionally enjoyed strong advantages.
In a position paper released on July 28, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) said that the rapid growth of China's modern industries is driven by innovation, with nationwide research and development (R&D) spending growing by an average of 10 percent annually during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period. 
The changing trade trend is also linked to Germany's own industrial competitiveness and policy environment, Zhao said, noting that high energy costs, demographic pressures and slower investment in some emerging technologies have weighed on the country's industrial upgrading and innovation.
At the same time, political and security considerations have increasingly shaped Germany's economic policy toward China, as Berlin has moved closer to the broader US and EU "de-risking" agenda, Zhao said. 
"Such policies can be a double-edged sword, raising costs for German companies in China and disrupting bilateral economic cooperation while seeking to pressure Chinese industries."
However, it is notable that overall China-Germany trade remained substantial. Total bilateral trade exceeded 128 billion euros in the first half, about 3 billion euros more than Germany's trade with the US, according to Reuters. 
China overtook the US as Germany's top trading partner in 2025 after US President Donald Trump launched sweeping protectionist tariffs that weighed on German exports to the US.
Falling German exports should not be seen as diminishing China's importance to German businesses, especially as bilateral ties are increasingly expanding beyond trade into investment, local production and R&D, analysts said.
German companies invested more than 7 billion euros in China in the first 11 months of 2025, up 55.5 percent from 4.5 billion euros in 2024 and 2023 and hitting a four-year high. German companies are bulking up their China business and adopting "China for China" production strategies partly to reduce exposure to possible tariffs and export restrictions, according to Reuters. 
Major German companies are also deepening their presence in China. BASF's Verbund site in Zhanjiang, South China's Guangdong Province went fully operational in March with an investment of 8.7 billion euros, the largest single investment project wholly owned by a German enterprise in China, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
"China and Germany have developed deeply intertwined economic interests over many years," Zhao said. Rather than treating stronger Chinese industries as a reason to reduce cooperation, Germany should adapt to a relationship in which competition increasingly coexists with investment, innovation and industrial collaboration, he noted.
Recent high-level exchanges have also underscored the importance both sides attach to economic ties. During a meeting with German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche in May, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng said that China and Germany are important economic and trade partners with a solid foundation, enormous potential and strong complementarity, calling on both sides to consolidate cooperation in traditional sectors and tap opportunities in emerging fields, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
Reiche said that the German business community remained confident about China's economic prospects and innovation capabilities and would continue to deepen cooperation, Xinhua reported.
The two sides have also moved to strengthen institutional mechanisms. China and Germany agreed to restart the China-Germany Joint Economic Committee and establish two new working groups on trade and investment and industrial cooperation, according to the MOFCOM.
。    추형욱 SK이노베이션 대표SK이노베이션이 SK아이이테크놀로지(SKIET)를 흡수합병한다. 비용 절감과 사업 효율화가 목적이다.SK이노베이션은 26일 양사 '온라인 합병발표 설명회'를 열고 △분리막 수요 감소 △중국 생산 능력 확대에 따른 수익성 악화 △SKIET 자체 현금 창출력 한계 등을 합병 배경이라고 설명했다.사측은 “중국 경쟁사의 생산 능력 확대와 가격 경쟁 심화로 (분리막) 업계 전반 수익성이 악화되고 있다”며 “분리막 수요 감소로 매출 회복이 쉽지 않은 상태에서 중국 경쟁사와의 구조적인 원가 경쟁력 차이를 단기간 내에 해소하기 어려운 상황”이라고 말했다.그러면서 “이에 따라 SKIET가 자체적으로 수익성 및 현금 창출력을 유의미하게 개선하는 데 한계가 있다고 판단했다“며 “영업손실 누적에 따라 자체 차입 여력도 축소돼 이 경우 SK이노베이션 계열에도 부정적 영향이 발생할 수 있다”고 합병 배경을 설명했다.합병을 통해 기대하는 효과로는 △재무 안정성 제고 및 자금 조달 여력 확보 △사업 구조 효율화 및 비용 경쟁력 제고 △사업 리스크 완화 등을 꼽았다.SKIET가 독립 법인으로 유지되면 손실 누적으로 신용 등급이 하락할 수 있는데, 합병 이후에는 분리막 사업 차입 주체가 SK이노베이션으로 변경된다. 따라서 모회사의 재무 건전성과 신용도를 기반으로 안정적인 자금 조달이 가능하다는 분석에서다.회사 측은 “합병 후 부채 규모는 증가하지 않지만, 금융 비용은 절감이 가능해 SK이노베이션의 재무 안정성도 제고될 것”이라며 “양사의 조직과 기능을 통합하고 사업 구조를 재편해 운영 효율성을 높이고 비용을 절감할 수 있을 것”이라고 강조했다.특히 비용의 경우 600억원의 절감 효과가 있을 것으로 봤다. 사측은 “사업을 통폐합하면서 전체적인 비용 절감이 예상되는데, 총합 연간 약 600억원 정도의 상각전영업이익(EBITDA) 창출 효과가 예상된다”고 전했다.회사 측은 이번 합병 과정에서 SK이노베이션의 자금 대여, 출자, 포괄적 주식 등의 다양한 대안이 있었다고 전했다. 다만 제3자 매각의 경우 상장사 인수에 대한 수요가 낮고, 분리막 사업의 시장 매력도가 낮아 매수인을 확보하기 쉽지 않았다고 밝혔다. 자금 대여의 경우 근본적 재무구조 개선이 불가하다고 봤고, 주식 교환은 신용등급 추가 하향 조정 가능성이 있을 것으로 내다봤다.앞서 SK이노베이션과 SKIET는 25일 각각 이사회를 열고 양사간 합병 추진 안건을 의결했다고 밝혔다. 이번 합병은 SK이노베이션이 SKIET를 흡수합병하는 방식이다. 존속회사인 SK이노베이션은 소규모 합병으로, 소멸회사인 SKIET는 일반합병 절차에 따라 추진된다. 합병 비율은 1대 0.1174540이다.SK이노베이션 관계자는 “분리막 사업의 재무 안정성과 운영 효율성을 높이고 생산 및 공급 안정성을 강화하는 한편, 제품 개발과 사업 경쟁력을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다”고 강조했다.。
