Depreciation & amortization in Europe 2019, by country & industry

The average depreciation and amortization of intangible and tangible fixed assets as share of turnover in selected countries and industries in Europe in 2019 is shown in this statistic. The trade industry in France was expected to spend only 1.4 percent of their turnover on depreciation and amortization, as this business is less capital intensive than, for instance, the chemical industry, where machines and patents need to be purchased to be competitive (2.9 percent). The logistics industry with its large transport fleets and warehouses has even higher depreciation and amortization costs.

The statistic is part of the European financial KPI and cost benchmark. This report takes an in-depth look on the most important key performance indicators (KPIs) of companies in five European economies.
