Table explanation

This table provides information on turnover developments. Turnover development is represented as the percentage of businesses which have generated a higher, the same or a lower turnover than in the same period one year previously. The figures are subdivided in sectors/branches according to the Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities 2008 (SIC 2008) and in size classes based on the number of persons employed.

Data available from: 2012.

Status of the figures:
Figures from the fourth quarter of 2021 are provisional, the others are final.

Changes as of June 2, 2025:
Figures of the year 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 have been added.

Changes as of March 4, 2025:
Figures of the fourth quarter 2024 have been added. In addition, figures for the years 2012 to 2023 have been added.
By adding annual figures, the quarterly figures for the entire series from 2012 onwards have also been recalculated. The figures may therefore differ slightly from the previously published figures because more information is now available and quality improvements have been implemented in the source data.

When will new figures be published?
New results are published approximately sixty calendar days after the end of the reporting period (quarter). Figures for the entire year will follow during the second quarter after the end of the reporting year. After publication of final results, CBS only adjusts the results if major adjustments and/or corrections are necessary.
