In the Italian retail trade sector (excluding motor vehicles and motorcycles), the forecast indicates a gradual decline in employment from 2024 to 2028, starting at 1.8322 million employees in 2024 and decreasing to 1.8206 million by 2028. The average annual decrease over this five-year period, or CAGR, is minimal. Year-on-year variations show consistent declines, reflecting a subdued job market in this sector since 2023.
Future trends to monitor:
- Impact of digital transformation and e-commerce growth on employment need.
- Possible labor shifts as consumer shopping behaviors evolve post-pandemic.
- Government policies and market dynamics influencing retail labor demands.
