The line graph illustrates the number of shops that closed and opened in one country between 2011 and 2018. Overall, there were significant fluctuations in both shop closures and openings throughout the period. Shop closures experienced a dramatic dip in 2015, while shop openings generally showed a declining trend towards the end of the period.
In terms of shop closures, the number started at around 6,500 in 2011. There was a slight increase to approximately 7,000 in 2013, which later in 2014 bounced back to almost the same number in 2011. The most noticeable change occurred in 2015, where the number of closures plummeted to just over 500. This was followed by a sharp rise back to around 5,000 in 2016, after which the numbers stabilized, ending at about 5,000 in 2018.
For shop openings, the numbers started higher than closures, at around 8,500 in 2011. However, there was a significant drop to approximately 4,000 in 2012. The number of openings then showed some recovery, reaching a peak of around 6,100 in 2014, before falling again to about 4,000 in 2015. From 2016 onwards, the number of openings gradually decreased, ending slightly below 3,000 in 2018.
In summary, while shop closures saw a dramatic dip in 2015 and then stabilized, the number of shop openings experienced a general decline with fluctuations over the period.
