Compared to 2023, with a reported value of £39.50 billion, this represents a consistent increase. Annually, the sector experiences a growth of approximately 2.4% on average from 2023 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of inflationary pressures on wage growth.
- Government regulations affecting pay structures.
- Labour market dynamics affecting wage negotiations.
- Evolving consumer spending patterns influencing sector profitability.
