Level of orders

The KION Group held its ground well amid difficult economic conditions in the first nine months of 2025, with the total value of its order intake rising by 18.3 percent to €8,882.0 million (Q1–Q3 2024: €7,505.9 million). Despite significant macroeconomic uncertainty as a result of the ongoing trade disputes and a still gloomy investment climate, demand from customers improved significantly in both operating segments compared with the first nine months of 2024, with all product categories registering growth.

The KION Group’s order book increased to €4,944.1 million as at September 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: €4,635.1 million). Currency effects also had an adverse impact on the order book, reducing it by €199.5 million.
