In 2024, the quarrying industry in France for ornamental, building stone, limestone, gypsum, chalk, and slate is expected to generate wages and salaries totaling 69.2 million Euros. This is a forecasted decrease from 2023 levels, indicating a trend of contraction in industry wages over the forecast period. From 2024 to 2028, the projected annual decrease in wages is gradual, with the industry expected to reach 63.7 million Euros by 2028. This demonstrates a year-on-year percentage decline, and over the longer term, an average annual decrease of wages is clear for this sector.
Future trends to watch for in this industry include the impact of automation and technological advancements on employment, potential changes in demand due to environmental regulations, and shifts in construction trends that may affect material usage. These factors could either exacerbate or mitigate the current downward trend in wages and salaries in the industry.
