2007 - 2006

Best Estimate 2007

In 2008, ERA undertook a second Best Estimate in the same manner as the first. This time, a trend could be developed looking at the change in turnover from 2006 to 2007. And in addition, forecasting data was sought, looking at what industry expected the change in turnover to be for 2007-08 and the change in capital expenditure over the same period. These results were published at the ERA Convention in 2008. Please find the resulting information below.

The key findings were:

1.     14,500 Companies

2.     21,000 Depots

3.     155,000 Employees

4.     Europe's Total Rental Turnover Estimate: €23.5 billion
