Deeper numbers
Survival, trouble signs, competition and people in Markaryd.
Survival
Survival can't be calculated for Sweden yet: Statistics Sweden's Business Register keeps only some of the older closures, so closures are counted from 4 October 2026, when we started collecting.
Competition
No company runs more than one place of business here, an independent market.
New and established
A typical mix of new and established businesses.
Moving in and out
A move is a place of business closing and the same company opening one in another area within 90 days. Chains are left out. A business that moves and keeps its place-of-business number isn't counted here yet, so the real number of moves is higher.
When businesses open and close
Per calendar month, 2021–2025. Not available yet: closures are only known from 4 October 2026.
