The Liebherr Group is remaining in a strong financial position, despite facing challenging market conditions at present. Overall, the firm reported a turnover of €7.079 billion for the financial year ending on 30th June 2025, compared with €7.034 billion for the period ending June 30th 2024.
However, the strong performance comes from healthy demand in divisions such as aerospace, and the construction machinery and mining segment has taken a slight dip to €4.505 billion for the year ending June 30th 2025, compared with €4.86 billion for the period ending June 30th 2024. Similarly, the firm’s earthmoving division saw turnover dip from €1.287 billion for the year ending on June 30th 2024 to €1.153 billion for the year ending June 30th 2025.
According to the Liebherr Group’s chief financial officer (CFO) Steffen Günther, “Construction is not booming in these days.” He did add however that the firm is waiting for the planned spending, such as the massive infrastructure upgrade programme for Germany, to commence. This will deliver strong demand for construction and earthmoving equipment in the German market, a core of Liebherr’s operations.
Günther said that tariffs are causing issues, not just those imposed in the US but also trade barriers from other areas also. He said, “The more difficult it is to trade, the more difficult it is to meet targets.”
Demand in machine segments have been growing fast in the past, such as for mobile cranes and crawler cranes, has tailed off. Demand for tower cranes and foundation machines has increased, although these are not the biggest segments for the firm. A particular jump in sales has been noted for the engine division, which is supplying units for use in generators to supply power for the fast growing data centre market.
Europe remains strong for Liebherr, with revenue of €3.2 billion for the year ending on June 30th 2025, an increase of 1.4% from the previous year. The German market is key to Liebherr and the planned infrastructure redevelopment programme will be a welcome boost when it arrives according to Günther. France is another key market for Liebherr, with the firm investing in a production facility at present. Similarly, Asia and Oceania grew 1.2% from the previous year to €1.257 billion for the year ending June 30th 2025. Not surprisingly, the tough US market conditions saw a drop of 7.6% to €1.2 billion for the year ending on June 30th.
