In 2024, the wholesale, retail trade, restaurants, and hotels sector in France is forecasted to contribute 12.35% to GDP. This marks a slight decline from 2023's actual data, as the figure decreases steadily each year, reaching 12.15% by 2028. This indicates a general downward trend, with the year-on-year decrease modestly consistent during this period.

Future trends to watch for include:

The impact of digital transformation and online retail that could potentially shift market dynamics.
Challenges in the hospitality sector due to potential macroeconomic fluctuations and changes in tourism patterns.
Environmental regulations and sustainability initiatives shaping operations and consumer preferences.
