About this ranking

Monthly volume of sales in retail trade, excluding motor vehicles and motorcycles (NACE Rev. 2 division G47).

Eurostat volume of sales: turnover adjusted for price changes, calendar effects and seasonality. Index with the 2021 average equal to 100, not sales in euros or a percentage change. Index levels compare activity with each series own base, not market size between countries. Coverage varies by category and country.

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.
