The number of persons employed in inland freight water transport in France is projected to rise gradually from 2024 through 2028. Starting at 2.09 thousand employees in 2024, the employment figure is expected to increase steadily to reach 2.19 thousand by 2028. This represents a modest but consistent year-on-year growth reflecting a positive trend in employment within this sector. Unfortunately, without specific data for 2023, it is difficult to ascertain the exact percentage of year-on-year growth; however, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) can be inferred given the stable upward trajectory over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of technological advancements in freight transportation and regulatory changes that could either spur or hinder employment growth. Rising demand for sustainable and efficient transport solutions might also influence employment trends in this sector.
