In 2023, the number of employees in the retail sale of carpets, rugs, wall, and floor coverings in specialized stores in France stood at approximately 3.08 thousand people.
The forecast for 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend, with an expected annual decrease from 2.92 thousand in 2024 to 2.28 thousand by 2028. Year-on-year variations reveal a consistent negative trend:
- 2024 to 2025: -5.5%
- 2025 to 2026: -5.8%
- 2026 to 2027: -6.2%
- 2027 to 2028: -6.6%
The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is expected to be around -6.1%, indicating an average annual decline. This contraction could be due to factors such as market saturation, increasing e-commerce competition, or shifts in consumer preferences.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements in online retailing, changes in consumer spending behaviour, and potential innovations in product offerings. Additionally, macroeconomic conditions and environmental regulations may also influence the sector.
