As of 2023, the number of persons employed in the French wholesale sector on a fee or contract basis stood at approximately 121.61 thousand. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 indicate a slight annual decrease of about 0.08%. This gradual decline reflects a stable but slightly contracting market environment over the coming years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period is expected to reflect this downward trend modestly.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of digitalization and automation on employment within the sector.
- Potential economic fluctuations that could alter demand for fee or contract-based wholesale services.
- Policy changes related to the labor market and trade regulations in France and the EU.
