The Gross Value Added (GVA) per employee for the cocoa, chocolate, and sugar confectionery industry in France appears to be on a declining trajectory, starting from 60.5 thousand euros in 2024 and reducing steadily to 55.5 thousand euros by 2028. Compared to 2023, this reflects a gradual decrease, suggesting a downward year-on-year trend. Specifically, there is an average annual decline of about 2% in the GVA per employee over these four years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Economic influences such as inflation and supply chain disruptions that may further impact productivity and GVA.
Technological advancements in production that could potentially reverse the downward trend by improving efficiency.
Shifts in consumer demand and the global market for cocoa and chocolate products that might redefine value benchmarks.
