In 2024, the labor cost per employee in France for homogenized food preparations and dietetic food is projected to be 56.1 thousand euros. Forecasts for the coming years suggest a marginal increase to 56.2 thousand euros, from 2025 through 2028. The negligible increase indicates stability in labor costs, with virtually no year-on-year percentage change or significant expected change in the five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR). In 2023, the labor cost was also aligned closely with these figures, highlighting a period of cost stability in this sector.
Future trends to watch for will include potential external economic influences that could impact labor costs such as changes in employment laws, fluctuations in demand for prepared and dietetic foods, advancements in automation, and impacts from broader economic policies. These factors could alter the projected stability of labor costs in the medium to long term.
