German manufacturing new orders rose 0.9% month‑on‑month in February 2026, according to provisional data from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). When large‑scale orders are excluded, the increase was 3.5%. The lift was driven mainly by a 3.8% rise in automotive orders, a 45.2% jump in textile production, and a 3.7% gain in basic metals. Orders for other transport equipment fell 25.9%. In the capital‑goods sector, new orders grew 0.2% overall and 1.4% for intermediate goods, while consumer‑goods orders climbed 4.5%. Foreign orders were up 4.7%, with euro‑area orders rising 6.7% and non‑euro orders 3.5%; domestic orders fell 4.4%. Turnover in manufacturing fell 0.5% month‑on‑month but was 0.4% higher than the same month a year earlier.
