Zusammenfassung

Since 2020, the global undertaker market has seen notable growth, largely attributed to an increase in mortality rates due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, industry sales rose by 6.1% worldwide in 2020. Germany has undergone a demographic shift with an aging population, the mortality rate having risen from 10.6 to 11.9 per 1,000 inhabitants in 2020, which has stimulated the funeral market. The German funeral industry is highly fragmented and dominated by small businesses; 97.4% of funeral companies will have fewer than 20 employees by 2020. Geographical price disparities exist in Germany, withservice costsvarying according to region and type of funeral. An upward trend in the preference for cremation over traditional burial has been observed, with cremations accounting for 77% of funerals in 2021. The funeral market is expected to continue to grow, with the global market set to rise from a value of $62.5 billion in 2023 to $113 billion in 2033. The German funeral market is also expected to grow in correlation with the increasing number of deaths, as evidenced by the market's 10% growth between 2014 and 2018, and the continuation of this trend is expected as the number of deaths increases.

Trends and analysis of the German funeral services market The German funeral services market is experiencing several definitive trends that reflect broader demographic and social changes.

With a significant increase in demand fuelled by the recent coronavirus pandemic, the industry sawoverall revenue growthof 6.1% in 2020, demonstrating the market's responsiveness to unprecedented events. In addition, as Germany mirrors the global trend with an aging baby-boomer population, demand for funeral services has seen a stable incline. The country's average mortality rate rose from around 10 to 12 deaths per 1,000 inhabitants between 2011 and 2020, as reported by the World Bank. The total number of deaths in Germany rose by almost 27%, from just over 800,000 to between 1 and 1.1 million over the period 2000-2023, underlining the expansion of the funeral market. This growth is a direct consequence of an ageing population - the median age in Germany is rising, with a staggering 22% of the population expected to be over 65 in the early 2020s, and this figure could rise to around 25% in the 2030s. These structural demographic changes are not the only factors shaping the funeral market in Germany. There is a shift towards cremation, with almost 77% of funerals in 2021 opting for this method rather than traditional burial. Consumers have become more expressive in their funeral wishes, with a notable increase in preference for tree burials and low-maintenance resting places, challenging the more conventional modes of burial. In addition, the funeral services market is taking account of the changing religious and cultural landscape, with more and more offerings tailored to Islamic burials. This trend corresponds to theincrease in the Muslim population, estimated at between 4.4 and 5.5 million in the country, which is leading to a rise in the number of funeral directors catering to Islamic rites and practices. The market is mainly made up of small players, with around 97% of undertakers employing fewer than 20 people, and around 64% of these being sole proprietorships. Despite the predominance of small entities, there is an upward trend in the number of companies providing funeral services, which increased by 18% between 1998 and 2018. Geographically, the market shows variations, with the highest average prices for direct services observed in Saxony-Anhalt, while Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania offers the most affordable options...

1 Market overview

1.1 Scope of the study

The funeral market includes all services that can be used at the time of death of a person. These are:

  • direct services of the funeral director: these services include the provision of the coffin or urn (depending on the choice of cremation or burial), the transfer of the body and the hygienic care of the deceased. Funeral homes can also handle administrative procedures such as applying for a death certificate or deregistration with health insurance companies, etc. can be taken over.
  • outside services such as the florist or placement of the obituary. Cemetery fees are also included in funeral expenses.

Due to the increase in deaths as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and price increases by industry participants due to cost, industry revenue grew by 6.1% globally in 2020.

As baby boom generations continue to age, the average mortality rate in developed countries is rising. Germany is no exception, with the average mortality rate rising from 10.6 to 11.9 per 1,000 population between 2011 and 2020[World Bank], contributing to the development of the funeral market.

The industry is highly fragmented, with a large number of companies offering funeral services. These range from small, local businesses to larger companies that operate nationwide. The largest companies in Germany are mostly organized as franchises, which gives them a competitive advantage.
