Germany's Bosch to Cut 13,000 Jobs in Blow to Auto Sector
Bosch plans to cut about 10% of its German workforce by 2030 due to a €2.5 billion annual shortfall and rising global competition, especially from Chinese manufacturers.
- Robert Bosch GmbH announced it will cut about 13,000 jobs in Germany, mostly in its automotive division, on September 25, 2025.
- The job cuts are driven by weak demand, fierce competition particularly from Chinese companies, rising expenses, and the delayed pace of adoption of electric vehicles in Europe.
- Bosch plans plant closures and job losses across locations including Waiblingen, Bühl, Homburg, Feuerbach, and Schwieberdingen, while seeking socially responsible solutions where possible.
- Marco Zehe noted that the growth of electromobility has been slower than expected, and Bosch is currently experiencing intense pricing and competition challenges throughout the automotive sector.
- The layoffs aim to save 2.5 billion euros to improve competitiveness but provoke strong worker resistance calling the cuts "unprecedented" and warn of social devastation.
