In 2023, the number of self-employed persons in France's textiles, wearing apparel, and leather products sector was at 13.0 thousand. From the forecasted data, there is stability projected for 2024 and 2025, remaining at 13.0 thousand. There is an anticipated increase to 14.0 thousand in 2026, which remains constant through 2028. The year-on-year variation suggests a stable outlook with a slight increase of approximately 7.7% from 2025 to 2026. The 5-year CAGR implies modest growth in self-employment within this sector.
Future trends to watch for include technological integration in production, sustainable practices, and shifting consumer preferences towards localized products, which may influence self-employment dynamics in these industries. These factors could either enhance or challenge the projected stability and slight growth in self-employment figures.
