Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular — dated statistical bulletin of indexed time series (chart-embedded and underlying numeric data), released on a recurring schedule with per-sector analyst ownership
Volume: Order of 10^5-10^6 index cells: a handful of headline sectors with sub-splits crossed against two variables (order intake, turnover) at monthly frequency from 2016 with original and smoothed variants, replicated across Germany, Europe and selected export geographies, on top of the association's wider order-intake database for the whole machinery sector.
Users: Est. low thousands of credentialed member-company users across roughly 3,000 member firms of Europe's largest engineering association, plus bulletin subscribers; the publication itself carries per-sector analyst contacts rather than a user community, and no consumer registration applies.
History: 10 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — the February/March 2026 edition carries full-year 2025 outcomes and 2026 forecasts across sectors, with the wider association statistics continuing through September 2026. Underlying cycle is uneven: construction machinery orders +18% real in 2025, agricultural technology +26%, while turnover stayed roughly flat and US-directed EU exports fell almost 30%.
Launched: Est. 1970s-1980s for the MOBIMA order-and-turnover statistics line (basis: MOBIMA is a long-established recurring statistical series within the association's economics and statistics function, and the published charts already carry a 2016-2025 index window with a 2021 base — a convention implying a mature multi-decade series behind it).
