Recent Study: Direct Selling in Spain

Direct selling continued to record very positive value growth during 2014 in a continuation of trends recorded in the category over the entire review period as the category bucked the generally negative trends registered in the Spanish retailing industry during the economic recession. Positive growth continued in the category during 2014 as direct selling increased in current value by 3% due to the persistently high unemployment rates in the country, which led increasing numbers of Spanish people to seek alternative revenue streams to their primary profession or to supplement their meagre incomes. Even though the employment rate in Spain has apparently improved since the end of 2013, the reality for the majority of Spaniards is that they will continue to struggle to find full-time work for the foreseeable future. The 3% current value growth recorded in direct selling during 2014 was commensurate with the 3% current value CAGR recorded in the channel over the entire review period.
