In 2023, the number of employees in the consumer electronics repair sector in France was 1,100. Over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, the industry is expected to witness a significant decline, with employment dropping to 248 by 2028. The annual decline percentages indicate a decreasing trend. Between 2024 and 2025, the employee count is anticipated to decrease by approximately 18.8% and continue to decline at a steeper pace through 2028. The 5-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is projected to reflect a sharp contraction in workforce numbers.
Future trends to monitor include advancements in technology leading to products with longer lifespans or integrated, non-repairable designs, along with a potential shift in consumer behaviors favoring replacements over repairs. This may further impact the sector's employment dynamics.
