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.

Compared with Sweden

Books & stationery in Göteborg against all of Sweden. Annual-report figures are for 2025 (Göteborgs kommun), from 42 companies. 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.

* Figure for the municipality – Statistics Sweden does not publish it for smaller areas.

Counts are workplaces (arbetsställen) in Statistics Sweden's Business Register with a main industry code in this category. Businesses are placed at the workplace's position from the register; trades like electricians often work across a wider area – use the radius view. Statistics updated 11.11.2026.
