An Overview of the German Tech Industry

Generative AI is at the forefront of emerging technologies in 2023 and comes with a wide range of opportunities. Despite its current limitations, a growing number of brands in the German tech industry seek to capitalise on Generative AI by implementing it in their products or services.

As 45% of Germans are already interested in using chatbots, Generative AI will continue to drive the development of other technologies, such as XR devices and metaverse experiences.

Technology Trends in Germany: What Consumers Want and Why

  • Consumer Interaction with the German Technology Market: Advances in the use and implementation of Generative AI will continue to change how people interact with technology. German consumers in particular look forward to AI helping them find information, presenting opportunities for brands to implement AI tools and features into their products and services.
  • Technology Trends in Germany: 44% of 16 to 34-year-olds think art generated by AI can be just as appealing as art created by humans, highlighting significant opportunities for brands to use AI for content generation when targeting younger adults, such as with content for streaming services or advertising.
  • Attitudes Towards Emerging Tech Trends in Germany: Germans overall – and 40% of women – tend to perceive the impact of AI on the job market and human interactions negatively. To capitalise on the power of AI, brands need to adopt a positive narrative around AI, by highlighting how it can free up time for more interpersonal tasks in the workplace.

German Technology Market Forecast

  • XR devices will become increasingly sophisticated with a growing number of AR glasses and headsets entering the German technology market. This will open new angles for brands to virtually engage consumers.

We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.

As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.

We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.

There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.

However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.

Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus

We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.

Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.

Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, VML

When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.

They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.

So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.

Rebecca Green, Market Insight Manager, Wincanton
Epsilon logo

We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.

By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.

For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.
