Yearly data from 1966 to 2025, from the World Bank.
Denmark's changes in inventories (current LCU) was 8.34 billion in 2025, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is down 44.51% from 15.04 billion in 2015 (5.72% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 8.34 billion | 2025 |
| Five years earlier | 13.45 billion | 2020 |
| Ten years earlier | 15.04 billion | 2015 |
| Highest | 47.78 billion | 2022 |
| Lowest | -18.5 billion | 2009 |
| Average since 2016 | 14.84 billion | 2016–2025 |
| First recorded | 892.17 million | 1966 |
Over five years it is down 37.98% from 13.45 billion in 2020 (9.11% a year on average, compounded). Since 1966 it is up 835.22% from 892.17 million in 1966 (3.86% a year on average, compounded).
In 2025, Denmark's changes in inventories (current LCU) rose 12.02 billion on 2024 (from -3.67 billion to 8.34 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was −258.6 million and a typical year strayed about 14.51 billion from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 28.56 billion in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 44.6 billion in 2023. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 4% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2025, Denmark had the 51st highest value of the 109 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
Changes in inventories is the value of entries into inventories less the value of withdrawals and less the value of any recurrent losses of goods held in inventories during the accounting period.This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
