Germany is Europe's largest electronics producing nation and is generally diversified in the range of products it has to offer. Most sectors contribute extensively to the domestic market, as well as individual segments claiming sizeable shares of the world market. Control and instrumentation is the largest sector, accounting for around 30% of German production in 2008 with computer equipment accounting for 12%, radio communications equipment 5.8%, telecommunications 4.9% and medical 7.6%. Components accounted for 33.5% of the total. In 2009, electronics production declined by a more than anticipated 19.5%, in part due to the impact of the global recession but also due to the closure or scaling back of production in the computing, communications and consumer audio segments. Production in 2010 rebounded on the back of strong growth in exports and a better than expected domestic economy. The electronics industry was also boosted by the return to growth in automobile production and increased demand for electronic components.
