The forecast for self-employed individuals in the rubber, plastics, and other non-metallic mineral products manufacturing sector in France remains constant at 8.0 thousand persons from 2024 to 2028. This indicates no anticipated year-on-year variation, showing stability in the number of self-employed workers in this sector. The absence of change suggests that the market perceptions, technological influences, and economic factors affecting self-employment in this field may settle into a steady state in the coming years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential technological advancements that could either diminish or expand opportunities for self-employment.
Shifts in demand for non-metallic mineral products that could affect self-employment trends.
Policy changes in France that might support or hinder self-employment in this sector.
Increasing focus on sustainable materials and practices which may impact the self-employment growth rate positively or negatively.
