The global market for goods in the electrical and digital industry came to a nominal EUR 4,967 billion in 2021. According to Jürgen Polzin, an expert from the German association ZVEI, the resulting growth of 10 % on the previous year reflects the strong recovery of the global electrical market after the first pandemic year.
