The forecast for the self-employed in Italy’s wholesale, retail, and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles sector shows a decreasing trend from 1.2 million in 2024 to 1.05 million by 2028. This reflects a steady decline, with an average annual decrease of approximately 3.3% over these years. Given that by the end of 2023, the number stood around 1.24 million units, the sector is experiencing a decreasing trajectory concerning self-employment.

Future trends to watch for include:

The potential impact of technological advances on business models and employment patterns in this sector.
Economic shifts as Italy adapts to green alternatives and electric vehicles, possibly affecting demand for traditional repair services.
Regulatory changes and how they might influence the sector's employment landscape.
