As of 2023, the Floating Structures Building and Shipbuilding sector in Germany recorded approximately 22.73 million hours worked. The forecasted data indicates a consistent decline in hours worked from 2024 onwards, with values projected at 22.496 million in 2024 and progressively decreasing to 20.679 million by 2028. This downward trend reflects a gradual annual decrease over this period.

Between 2023 and 2024, there is a minor dip, but from 2024 to 2028, the year-on-year reduction becomes evident, with an approximate annual compound annual growth rate (CAGR) signifying a steady shrinkage of the workforce's engagement in this sector.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements that may increase efficiency, possibly offsetting the decline in hours worked.
Economic or policy shifts impacting demand for new shipbuilding projects or maintenance of existing structures.
Potential market diversification or investments in alternative energy solutions within the maritime sector.
