NOTE: Considers France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, and United States. Auto and Utilities exclude Sweden (outlier and no future data respectively). All values based on nominal local currency units except for utilities which is based on MWh of energy production. Time periods selected to allow for a view of long-term historical growth (1995–2004), impact in the lead up to, during, and post-crisis, as well as forward projections.
