European Household Expenditure on Goods and Services for Routine Household Maintenance Share by Country (Million Euros)

In 2023, Italy led European household expenditure on goods and services for routine maintenance at 20.25 million euros, followed by Germany and Spain. Germany notably saw a 5.84% increase year-on-year, while smaller economies like Bulgaria and Croatia had significant growth rates of 15.72% and 11.69%, respectively. Noteworthy declines were seen in Lithuania at -0.34%. Over the past five years, trends show Germany consistently rising, while countries like Romania and Bulgaria are emerging as fast-growing markets.

Future trends to watch include sustained growth in Eastern European countries as their economies develop, potentially increasing household expenditure in that region. Western European countries might experience slower growth but maintain higher absolute expenditure levels due to mature markets.
