Berlin's economic growth will surpass the national average considerably in 2022
Berlin, the vibrant capital city of Germany, saw a mix of growth and challenges in its economy last year. While some sectors thrived, others faced setbacks.
In the technology hub of Berlin-Adlershof, companies like xolo GmbH, a leader in volumetric 3D printing technology, experienced significant growth. xolo secured 8 million Euros in Series A funding in 2022 to develop its groundbreaking "Xolography" process. Though other tech companies with similar growth in 2022 remain unnamed in the available search results, the tech sector in Berlin-Adlershof continues to show promise.
However, the industry and manufacturing sector took a hit, shrinking by a total of 3.4 percent. The decline was due to a combination of factors, including rising costs, material shortages, and deteriorating financing conditions.
In contrast, the retail sector, despite the ongoing impact of COVID-19, managed to grow by 5.6 percent. This growth translated to an additional 1 billion Euros in revenue compared to 2021.
The construction sector also felt the pinch, with a nearly three and a half percent decline. This was primarily due to rising costs, material shortages, and deteriorating financing conditions, similar to the industry and manufacturing sector.
On a positive note, Berlin's population grew by over 75,000 people in 2022, bringing the city closer to its forecasted population of 4 million inhabitants by 2040.
The city's office property market is currently booming, indicating a strong demand for commercial spaces. This growth is also reflected in the financial and insurance service providers, which experienced double-digit growth of over 12 percent.
Lastly, there are numerous renovation projects for shopping malls in Berlin, indicating a focus on revitalising the retail landscape in the city.
In conclusion, while some sectors faced challenges, others showed remarkable growth in Berlin's economy in 2022. The city continues to be a hub of innovation and growth, with promising prospects for the future.
