(05 September 2016) – The European Commission published today its 2016 Consumer Markets Scoreboard which monitors EU consumers’ ratings of how 42 goods and services markets work.
These ratings show that market’s performance has improved since the last scoreboard in 2014. The positive trend observed since 2010 is speeding up, with financial services showing the biggest progress.
Consumers’ top three goods markets are books, magazines and newspapers, the market for entertainment goods (e.g. toys and games) and large household appliances such as fridges.
As for services, consumers’ three top-ranking markets are leisure-related, ranging from holiday accommodation to cultural and entertainment services and sport services such as gyms.
