About this ranking
Annual household final consumption expenditure on clothing and footwear, COICOP 2018 division 03. Published in millions of euros at current prices.
Eurostat national accounts, domestic concept: includes non-residents spending in the territory and excludes residents spending abroad. Includes non-cash items such as imputed rent. Current prices in euros, including for non-euro countries: changes reflect prices and may reflect exchange rates. Not inflation-adjusted or purchasing-power-adjusted.
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
