Excluding large-scale orders, however, orders fell 1.4% on the month. In the less volatile three-month comparison, orders from May to July were 2.9% higher than in the previous three months; without large orders, they were 2.2% lower. The June monthly increase was revised up to 3.7% from 3.1%. On a calendar-adjusted annual comparison, July orders were 13.1% higher than a year earlier.","The headline increase was almost entirely attributable to exceptional large orders in the manufacture of other transport equipment, which includes aircraft, ships, trains and military vehicles. Orders in that subsector more than doubled, rising 126.4% month on month, with Destatis citing high-volume orders particularly for ships, railway rolling stock and aircraft. The automotive industry moved in the opposite direction, with orders down 12.5%, weighing on the total. Capital-goods orders rose 2.4% and intermediate-goods orders 4.3%, while consumer-goods orders fell 4.8%. The aggregate therefore reflects a surge concentrated in one large-order-sensitive subsector rather than an across-the-board increase.","Foreign orders overall fell 2.1%; orders from the euro area increased 12.1%, while those from outside the euro area decreased 10.1%. Domestic orders rose 9.1%. Real manufacturing turnover fell 1.5% in July from June and was 0.6% lower than a year earlier. Orders and turnover measure different stages: new orders indicate demand placed for future production, while turnover records sales.
