The line graph compares the number of shops that closed and those that opened in a particular country between 2011 and 2018.

Overall, both shop openings and closures fluctuated over the period, but closures saw a dramatic fall in 2015 before partially recovering, while openings steadily declined after 2014.

In 2011, shop openings were about 8,500, slightly higher than closures at 6,300. The number of openings then fell sharply to 4,000 in 2012, before rising to around 6,200 in 2014. After this, openings declined again, stabilising at 4,000 from 2015 to 2017, and then dropped to 3,000 in 2018.

Closures, on the other hand, rose from 6,300 in 2011 to roughly 7,100 in 2013, before dipping slightly to 6,800 in 2014. They then plunged to just under 1,000 in 2015, marking the lowest point, before rebounding to over 5,000 in 2016 and remaining relatively stable until the end of the period.
