The number of self-employed persons in sports activities, amusement, and recreation activities in Germany in 2023 was 28,000. Forecasted data from 2024 show a decrease to 27,000 and a stabilization at 26,000 from 2025 to 2028. Year-on-year variation from 2023 to 2024 is -3.57%, while the annual change from 2024 to 2028 remains constant. The compound annual growth rate over the last four years points to a consistent negative trend in the self-employed workforce within this sector.
Future trends to watch for include digital transformation in recreational activities, shifts in consumer behavior towards wellness and fitness, and regulatory changes affecting gig and freelance workers. These factors could influence the stability or growth of self-employment in these industries.
