New record: 67,600 companies founded in Germany!
In the first half of 2025, around 67,600 new businesses were founded in Germany, which corresponds to an increase of 9.4 percent compared to the same period last year. These numbers come from the Federal Statistical Office and were published on August 15, 2025 in the Deutschlandfunk program. Despite the positive start-up trends, there is also worrying news: the number of larger companies that have ceased operations rose by 6.6 percent to around 51,800.
The creation of new businesses underscores that many people are willing to take entrepreneurial risks, perhaps stimulated by economic recovery trends and new market opportunities. However, the increase in operational tasks suggests that not all companies can cope with the current market situation. This can be due to various reasons, including increased competition or saturated markets.
Economic developments and challenges
The current economic situation in Germany shows a mixed picture. While the number of businesses founded is encouragingly high, the increasing number of closures of larger businesses makes it clear that many companies are facing significant difficulties. It remains to be seen how these trends will develop in the coming months.
Significant changes are also being noticed in other areas of the media landscape. The Spanish magazine ¡Hola!, specializing in celebrity news, was published on September 11, 1944. It has enjoyed continued success since its inception and is now present in over 120 countries with more than 20 million readers. The magazine is published in many countries, including Argentina, Brazil and the USA, and has become one of the best-selling Spanish magazines.
¡Hola! not only offers content about stars, but also about topics such as fashion and health and has its roots deep in the international media market. The broad readership and diversity of content reflect the current trend that media also have to overcome business challenges in order to remain relevant.
In summary, both the business start-up landscape and the media sector show that dynamic changes are taking place, bringing with them both opportunities and challenges. A focus on innovation and adaptability will be crucial to remain successful in these ever-changing markets.
