Source: own calculations using Eurostat data. As EU standards of living are constantly improving, demand for goods and services with relatively high income elasticities have been growing faster than demand for necessity goods. EU average annual growth in constant prices has increased significantly in communication, recreation and culture and health. Telephone and telefax equipment increased by 17.4 % on average, followed by audio‑visual, photographic and information processing equipment, telephone and telefax services and financial services n.e.c. which increased by between 4.5 % and 10 %. The differences between the EU‑15 and the EU‑27 were largest in areas where consumption grew much faster in the EU‑15 than in the rest of the EU. Consumption of package holidays in the EU‑15 grew by 50 % more than in the EU‑ 27 and consumption of alcoholic beverages and electricity, gas and other fuels grew in the EU‑15 by +0.5 % while it decreased in the whole of the EU, cf. Figure III.27. 59 59 Figure III.27 includes more categories of goods than Figure III.23. Some categories are also further broken down in Figure III.24 in order to provide more information. Figure III.23 shows for examples that while consumption of alcoholic beverages, tobacco and narcotics decreased both for EU-15 and EU-27, the consumption of alcoholic beverages increased in EU-15. 89
