The forecasted labor cost per employee FTE in the paper and paperboard sector in France shows a steady increase from €77,000 in 2024 to €82,000 in 2028, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.57% over these five years. Compared to 2023, where data showed a lower cost, this indicates a consistent upward trend likely due to inflation and increasing operational costs.

Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of automation and digitalization in reducing labor demands, changes in French labor laws and regulations, and economic shifts that may affect inflation and overall production costs in the paper and paperboard sector.
