the graph below show the number of shops that closed and the number of new shops that opened in one country between 2011 and 2018.

The line graph provides information about shops that closed and the number of new shops that opened in one country over a period of seven years between 2011 and 2018.

Overall

, during

this

seven-year period, both indicators illustrated variation decline. At the beginning, the start of the store business was higher than the closure of

stores

but

at the end

of 2018 everything was completely off the closure indication of

stores

was higher than the start. In 2011 store opening was approximately 8500, but in the incident of the year, the number of opening dramatically decreased

thus

reaching 4000 and only 6500 closed.

However

, from 2012 to 2014, the statistic of shop closures was much more than openings.

Thus

, the total total of

stores

went down during that period. Even though more markets were open and fewer than 1000 were closed in 2015, that brought minor help to the local commercial market. In 2016, approximately 5100

stores

were closed and it remained stable for the next 2 years.

On the contrary

, merely 4,000 shops were open in 2016, and the sum even dipped as time passed by. Especially in 2018, it reached its lowest point at only 3000.
