The turnover in the French wholesale trade sector (excluding motor vehicles and motorcycles) shows a decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 635.19 billion euros in 2024, the forecast projects a steady decrease to 589.3 billion euros by 2028. The year-on-year variations display negative trends, with decreases between the years indicating challenges for the sector. This trend suggests a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting an average reduction per year over this five-year span.

Future trends to watch include:

Macroeconomic factors impacting consumer demand and, consequently, wholesale activities.
Shifts in trade policies or regulations within the European Union that could alter import and export dynamics.
The impact of emerging technologies and digital transformation on operational efficiencies and market reach.
