The figures – released as JATO Dynamics also publishes its September data – show that growth was seen across all major markets, Spain (+26.2%), France (+6.3%), UK (+5.6%), Germany (+5.2%) and Italy (+3.3%).
The upturn helped push the year-to-date performance up 6.1% compared to the first nine months of 2013, mainly caused by the significant growth recorded in Spain (+17.2%) and the UK (+9.1%).
