The number of persons employed in the French sewerage sector is projected to decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 8.28 thousand employees in 2024, this figure reduces to 6.29 thousand by 2028, indicating a consistent downward trend over the forecast period. Compared to 2023, this suggests a decade-high employment level in the sector, implying strategic shifts or efficiency improvements possibly causing this shrinkage in workforce.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements leading to increased automation in sewerage operations may further accelerate employment reduction.
Economic and policy changes, especially regarding environmental regulations, could alter sector-specific employment dynamics.
Potential demand for skilled labor in emerging sewerage technologies may create workforce reskilling opportunities.
