FPXE - EU Retail: Moderate Growth Amid Ongoing Challenges
First Trust IPOX Europe Equity Opportunities ETF
2025-05-20 04:30:00 ET
Summary
Europe’s retail sector continues to face significant challenges due to geopolitical tensions, the threat of import tariffs, persistent negative consumer confidence, rising costs, and the ongoing shift to online shopping.
These factors are expected to result in moderate volume growth in the European retail sector across 2025 and 2026.
Retail sales in the non-food segment contracted in most European economies in 2023, but increased slightly in 2024, except in Poland and Belgium.
