Summary
Almost a third of all voluntary closures are now due to age – significantly more than 10 or 15 years ago, explains Gottschalk. In the healthcare sector, the negative development observed for about ten years continued: At just under 11,000, the number of closures in this area is now about twice as high as in 2008. In industry, it affected about 11,000 companies and thus ten percent more than before the year.
Furthermore, Companies close: Corporate deaths as high as in almost 20 years. However, ZEW researcher Sandra Gottschalk points out that just 13 percent of the almost 190,000 closures recorded last year were due to insolvency proceedings. More company closures nationwide, the time series last recorded in 2007 with almost 208,000.
In addition, Just under 5,500 medical practices alone and thus almost a quarter (23 percent) more than 2024 closed last year – often because doctors retire and find no one to continue their practice.
