Map of the Month - April

Retail turnover in Europe, 2012

This month's map from GfK GeoMarketing shows the 2012 prognosis for stationary retail turnover in Europe, as compared to the 2011 values (data source: "GfK Retail Turnover 2012" / GfK GeoMarketing).

Retail Turnover 2012 in Europe - GfK GeoMarketing

In the 32 European countries reviewed, retailers generated a 2011 retail turnover of approximately €2.96 trillion (EU-27 = €2.3 trillion). GfK GeoMarketing anticipates a nominal retail turnover growth of approximately +1.4 percent in 2012. It is expected that the countries affected by the structuring and austerity measures - Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italian and Hungary - will be impacted by the repercussions of the debt crisis; at -15 percent, Greece is anticipated to be hit hardest. With regard to the large economies and retail markets, turnover growth of approximately 1-2 percent is predicted for France and Germany. Growth of +2.7 percent is even forecasted for the UK.
