“City Profile – Munich” provides historical and forecast data on key city level metrics along with analytical coverage of the latest political, economic, social, technological, infrastructural, legal and environmental issues affecting Munich.

The report contains detailed tourism, retail, construction, technology and public infrastructure data and insight into economic, social, and industry trends.

Munich, with an area of 310.4 km², is the capital of Bavaria and Germany’s third-largest city by population after Berlin and Hamburg. Over the next five years, growth is expected to be driven primarily by continued expansion in the services sector—Munich’s dominant economic pillar—and ongoing strength and restructuring in industry (notably high-tech and advanced manufacturing), supporting the region’s overall economic momentum

Scope

The service sector remains the key contributor to Munich’s regional economy and the largest source of employment.

Munich continues to be a leading tourism destination, showing stable and resilient performance in 2025 with 9.31 million visitors; domestic tourism remains dominant (59% of arrivals), while international demand (41%) stayed robust despite a slight dip versus 2024 due to fewer major one-off events, with trade fairs and festivals (including Oktoberfest) sustaining year-round flows.

The construction sector remains a cornerstone of urban development, with GVA rising to EUR9.6 billion in 2025 (from EUR9.3 billion in 2024) and forecast to grow at a 4.1% CAGR to EUR14.4 billion by 2035, although near-term activity is constrained by higher costs, financing hurdles, labor shortages, and declining building permits in 2024.
