Retail streets in the Netherlands started 2024 slightly busier than in 2023, with an increase of 4.2%. However, this advantage seems to be closing quickly, given the rapid rise in footfall last year, likely due to better weather. Large and medium-sized cities have particularly benefited from this increase, while smaller cities with a relatively larger daily supply are seeing less growth. Despite the ongoing rain, shopping volume appears to remain high, which could be favorable for retailers' revenue due to recent price hikes.

We do predict that footfall in retail streets will decrease in the coming months, especially after the busy second quarter of last year. It is therefore crucial to monitor these developments closely.
