#19 In EuropeStalls and markets’ industry revenue across Europe is anticipated to contract at a compound annual rate of 5.9% to €38.6 billion over the five years through 2024. The owner-operator nature of the industry and the small size of stalls mean that no companies have any substantial scale and instead operate from one stall. This does cap revenue due to limited expansion opportunities and stalls that are the most successful tend to open shops or restaurants. Stalls and markets experience some seasonal demand spikes. At Christmas time, visiting stalls across Europe is a festive tradition for many people which boost sales and revenue.
