Electrical engineering / electronics 2024 – The most important things in brief

Electrical engineering, electronics is the second largest industry in Germany in terms of the number of employees and, with a high export share, ranks just behind mechanical and plant engineering. And it is a stronghold of medium-sized businesses. Over 90% of companies operating in the electrical engineering and electronics sector employ fewer than 500 people. On the way to Industry 4.0, industrial goods are increasingly being equipped with electrical engineering and electronics. 

The sector is shaping the industry with its rapid development. Open standards promote interoperability and simplify the integration of different systems. This enables seamless Communication between devices. Wireless systems are becoming increasingly important because they offer flexibility and mobility, especially in industrial automation and the Internet of Things (IoT). Networking and the IoT are driving the development of smart and networked solutions that allow processes to be monitored and controlled more efficiently.

Miniaturization enables the development of more compact and powerful electronic components that can be used in increasingly smaller devices. Together with digitization, integration, networking and monitoring, these are the Industry 4.0 Prerequisites that also drive forward electrical engineering in mechanical and plant engineering. And so connectors and cables are now more than just an electrical connection technology.
