The renting and leasing of recreational and sports goods sector in Europe shows varied employment trends by country. In 2024, the United Kingdom and Germany are leaders in employment with slight year-on-year growth, driven by burgeoning outdoor and fitness trends. Croatia experiences the highest growth surge, while France encounters a notable decline. Southern European nations such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal show modest improvements. Meanwhile, Eastern European countries, like Romania and Poland, are showing promising increases, likely influenced by rising interest in leisure activities.
Looking ahead, expect continued rise in employment within this sector, bolstered by increasing consumer interest in sustainable consumption and shared economy models. Germany and Croatia might lead growth, with digital transformation and e-commerce playing significant roles. Watch for developments in policy and infrastructure supporting outdoor activities across Europe, possibly influencing employment dynamics further.
