Swedish figures: Statistics Sweden's Business Register keeps only some of the workplaces that closed before 4 October 2026, when we started collecting, so closures are counted from then. Until there are three years of history, growth over time looks higher than it really is.

Deeper numbers

Survival, trouble signs, competition and people in Perstorp.

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

Run by chains (3+ places)12% · Sweden: 6%
Share of the 3 largest operators1% · 326 owners

No company runs more than one place of business here, an independent market.

New and established

Openings per 1,000 residents (12 months)7.37 · Sweden: 10.55
Average age of active businesses11.5 yrs · Sweden: 11.9
Younger than 2 years21% · Sweden: 15%
Older than 10 years45% · Sweden: 51%

A young market: many recent start-ups, dynamic, but less proven.

Moving in and out

Moved here (3 years)0 · 12 months: 0
Moved away (3 years)0 · 12 months: 0
Net0

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.
