The OpenAI Monitor 2025, a comprehensive study conducted by Bitkom Research, offers valuable insights into the usage and trends of open-source software in the German economy and public sector. This year's monitor, which involved 1,150 businesses and 103 public sector participants, reveals that nearly three-quarters (73%) of German companies use open-source software. The main reasons for adoption are cost savings (26%) and source code accessibility (19%) for customization and security checks. However, the study also highlights some challenges. A lack of skilled personnel (20%) and unclear warranty conditions (15%) are common issues, as well as legal uncertainties around licensing (13%). Interestingly, 73% of the surveyed businesses see open source as a way to strengthen digital sovereignty. In fact, 60% desire increased state investment in open-source software amid geopolitical tensions. The OpenAI Monitor 2025 provides detailed analyses by industry and company size, offering strategic insights for businesses, politics, and administration. It also includes a comprehensive public sector survey and comparison with previous years to identify trends and provide guidance for decision-making. Conducted by Bitkom Research, the OpenAI Monitor 2025 ensures a high level of professionalism and is a valuable resource for businesses, politicians, and administrators alike.
