Deeper numbers

Survival, trouble signs, competition and people in Västra Torup.

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)6% · Sweden: 6%

Share of the 3 largest operators17% · 18 owners

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

Average age of active businesses11.0 yrs · Sweden: 11.9

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

Moving in and out

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.
