This stability suggests a lack of growth or decline in self-employment within this sector. As of the end of 2023, the sector appears to maintain its size with no apparent fluctuations in numbers from year to year, indicating a static trend.

Future trends to watch for:

Emerging technologies and digitalization, which may impact production methods and labor dynamics.
