In 2023, the number of hours worked in the wholesale, retail, and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles sector in France stood below the forecast for 2024. The forecasted increase from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady rise, with 5.27 billion hours in 2024 expected to grow to 5.4 billion hours by 2028. This steady growth suggests a modest year-on-year increase, indicative of gradual recovery and expansion. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period illustrates a consistent upward trend, subtly reflecting broader economic conditions and industry health.
Looking ahead, key trends to watch include technological advancements influencing workforce demands, such as the increased need for technical skills related to electric and automated vehicles. Additionally, fluctuations in consumer demand and regulatory changes regarding vehicle emissions could significantly impact employment levels in this sector.
