The bar graph illustrates the proportion of families owning 8 distinct types of products in a certain European nation in 2002 and 2008.
Overall, the data reveals a notable change in household items, with a sharp increase in purchase of both mobile phones and computers, along with a substantial decline in telephones. Meanwhile, the remaining four materials consistently represented a slight growth over the four-year span.
In 2004, families purchased more than three quarters of television, making it by far the largest purchasing category. Telephones accounted for roughly 90%, making it second highest material. Similarly, Microwaves, CD players, and clothes dryer each ranged between 60% and 75%. Conversely, the remaining three items surveyed only accounted for nearly a quarter of total household goods.
After four years, although mobile phones registered for 80%, this figure tripled from 2004. Similarly, the proportion of computers doubled, rising from nearly 30% to 65%, in 2008. However, the share for telephones dropped from approximately 90% to 85% in 2008.
As for the remaining items, they experienced slight growth, only about 5%.
