About this report:

Our Top 10 European Retail Markets report provides analysis of the largest European retail markets. The report is a ‘handy must-have’ resource for businesses operating in, or exploring, the European retail landscape.

The contents includes a decades-worth of historic data, enabling trend analysis and regional comparisons to be conducted.

Data:

The report provides five key metrics for each European region:

  1. Total retail spend - The report examines the size of the leading retail markets in Europe, giving you insights to understand the overall market potential and identify opportunities

  2. Total in-store spend - Understanding annual trends in total in-store spending can be used to put historic business performances in greater context.
