View industry report for Europe

Revenue in the Specialised Design Activities industry in Europe is anticipated to decline at a compound annual rate of 0.8% over the five years through 2024 to €50.9 billion. Revenue has proved volatile, as advertising companies have propped up revenue while falling demand for home renovations and manufacturing activity has limited sales. The COVID-19 outbreak’s lasting effect on economic stability has also held designers back, with lacklustre business and consumer sentiment warding off large expenditure on specialised design activities.
