The United Kingdom saw a modest increase of 2.59%, while Germany experienced a more robust growth of 3.7%. Italy witnessed a slight decline of 0.22%. Eastern European countries like Hungary, Slovenia, and Slovakia showed notable growth rates of 18.99%, 8.85%, and 13.22%, respectively, while less dominant markets such as Lithuania and Iceland exhibited significant growth at 44.4% and 73.21%.
