The given line graph represents how many shops opened and closed between 2011 and 2018 in one particular country.
In overview, the quantity of closed shops is more than that of new opened shops during this period, except significant gaps that number of shop opening exceeded that of closure in both 2011 and 2015.
On the one hand, there were around 6500 shops closing initially, which experienced slight fall in 2012 and rose dramatically to the peak at 7100 shops in 2013. In 2014, it underwent a decrease considerably from 6500 to 500 shops, which was its lowest point; however, it had surged to more than 5000 shops in 2016. In the end, the quantity was stable and remained around 5000.
On the other hand, approximately 8,500 shops were started in 2011 with its peak and then dropped to fewer than 4,000 shops next year. The number of shops witnessed a constant growth from 2012 to 2014, with more than 6,000, but it declined more than 2,000 in 2014. Between 2015 and 2017, the figures kept steady around 4,000 shops opening; however, it went down to 3,000 shops in 2018.
It is obvious that in 2015, the quantity between these two sorts had the largest difference with 4,000 shops opened and 500 shops closed.
