In brief
- Allianz Trade expects the number of company insolvencies in Germany in 2027 to be close to the level of 2013.
- In the first half of 2026, almost 13,000 company insolvencies had already been reported.
- Persistently high insolvencies increase the risk of payment delays for businesses and creditors.
Forecast for 2027
Allianz Trade predicts that company insolvencies in Germany will remain at a high level in 2027, close to the level recorded in 2013 (Unternehmensinsolvenzen: Insolvenzen sollen 2027 auf hohem Niveau bleiben – ZEIT ONLINE). In the market's memory, that year marks the end of the wave of problems following the European debt crisis, so the comparison shows that the current situation has not yet returned to normal.
Data for the first half of 2026
In the first half of 2026, almost 13,000 company insolvencies had already been recorded. The number itself points to the scale of the problem, and its pace suggests that the forecast for the next year does not assume a quick improvement.
What it means for businesses and creditors
For entrepreneurs, sustained high insolvencies mean a greater risk of payment delays, because customers may fail to settle their receivables. Creditors and suppliers should more often verify the creditworthiness of their customers, and companies managing liquidity have reason to review their credit limits and factoring terms.
