The number of persons employed in the water collection, treatment, and supply sector in France is forecasted to remain stable at 20.0 thousand individuals from 2024 to 2026. A slight decline is anticipated in 2027, dropping to 19.0 thousand, and this number is expected to hold steady into 2028. As of 2023, the actual employment was also at a similar level, indicating a relatively consistent employment trend with minimal year-over-year changes over this forecast period. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) would thus illustrate a steady but marginal downward trend.
Future trends to monitor include technological advancements in water treatment processes, which could impact employment through automation, and regulatory changes aiming at sustainability and resource management that might demand new skill sets and potential workforce shifts.
