The average market share of ccTLDs in European countries is at around 60%, with the highest growth being registered by .se (Sweden), .cy (Cyprus), .pt (Portugal), .am (Armenia), and .fi (Finland). When it comes to new gTLDs, the average market share in European countries has increased from 1.3% to 3.3% over 2016, with new gTLD growth remaining relatively slow in Europe.
