PERCENTAGE OF NATIONAL CONSUMER EXPENDITURE

PERCENTAGE OF NATIONAL CONSUMER EXPENDITURE nRkkR

This table compares the proportion of consumer spending on 3 categories (Food/Drinks/Tobacco, Clothing/Footwear and Leisure/Education) in 5 European countries in 2002. Turkey consumed 32. 14% of food, beverages and tobacco which makes it the largest consumer among the represented countries with only Ireland close behind (28. 91%); however, Sweden spent only 15. 77% on these goods in the given year. Clothing and footwear were purchased mostly by Italian consumers whose 9% of national expenditure was used to buy such goods. Although Sweden had a mere 5% expenditure on clothes and shoes, most countries, such as Ireland, Spain, and Turkey, spent no less than 6%. In total, money spent on Leisure and Education accounted for much less than other items in all 5 countries. For instance, Turkey, which had the highest expenditure, spent sole 4. 35% of its total national consumer expenditure. Consumers in the rest of the countries spent much less of their finances on leisure and education in 2002; most notably, Spain with just shy of 2% spent on this category. Overall, Turkey can be clearly seen to be the largest spender regarding{in} 2 items: Food/Drinks/Tobacco as well as Leisure/Education. Clothing and Footwear market, however, was mainly dominated by Italian customers by a huge margin.
