Retail Spending as a Share of Total Private Spending

Retail spending as a share of private consumption - related spending declined in the EU27 in 2011 despite the retail turnover growth in absolute terms. The reasons for the declining share of retail expenditures are increasing energy costs and economic uncertainty. However, the reasons for consumer behavior must be considered on a country-bycountry basis, as they are dependent upon the specific price structures and consumer climates in the various countries under review. Inhabitants of countries with low per-capita income must spend a greater proportion of their retail income on meeting basic needs (e.g., inhabitants of Bulgaria, Croatia and Hungary); some countries are also still trying to catch up after weathering the crisis period (e.g., Russia and Estonia). 5
Retail Turnover Forecast for 2012
In the European countries under review, GfK GeoMarketing anticipates a nominal retail turnover growth of approximately 1.4 percent in 2012. It is also expected that Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Hungary – countries affected by the structuring and austerity measures – will be impacted by the repercussions of the debt crisis. A very positive development is forecasted for the Baltic states. Turnover growth between +5.1 percent and +6.3 percent is anticipated, an indication that the so-called Baltic Tiger has awakened from its winter slumber.

Per Capita Sales Area and Sales Productivity, 2011
The per-capita sales area in the 32 European countries increased by a total of approximately 1 percent in 2011 compared to 2010. This is explained by the fact that, on the one hand, many projects were halted during the crisis and, on the other, current vacancies can now be filled again. However, it should be remembered in the case of the per-capita evaluations that the population of all countries under review increased by +0.5 percent (EU-27 = +0.3 percent). In this regard, Lithuania, France, Latvia and Slovakia have the highest per-capita sales area growth rates. As such, the sales area growth rate is below-average compared to the 2011 turnover growth of +2.4 percent. The rate of the sales area increase has therefore once again significantly slowed, although GfK GeoMarketing anticipates that it will again accelerate considerably in the coming years.

European consumers tend to talk about purchase experiences to three - four other people, irrespective of whether these experiences were good or bad. In Baltic, Latvians are more open to spreading word of mouth, both, positive and negative.
