Automotive industry could lose 20%:
The automotive industry could lose more than 20% of its workforce by 2035. Consequently, due to the drop in production in France, growing automation and the rise of the electric vehicle, which demands less labor, according to a study published Thursday.
Employment should drop by 17% over the next ten years. Therefore, to some 280,400 positions, according to the projections of a study commissioned by EDEC (commitment to develop employment and skills, which brings together state, professional organizations of employers, unions, etc.).
Except job creations in batteries, estimated at some 19,000 by 2035, ‘The fall could be even more important’, at 22.7% of the current workforce (or almost 75,000 jobs less).
A decline due to ‘the drop in vehicle production in France’ (reducing labor needs in assembly factories. Furthermore, among equipment manufacturers and suppliers) and ‘increasing automation’ (which notably affects workers and automotive industry could lose 20% technician stations).
Other explanations: ‘The pressure on the margins encourages companies to limit replacements. recruitments’, as well as ‘the rise of the electric vehicle’. An evolution that plays a major role ‘because the electric vehicle is’ less intensive in labor for assembly ‘and requires less components such as metal. rubber parts’.
The equipment manufacturers could be the most affected. according to this study, with a 30% drop in their workforce by 2035, due to Asian competition, notably Chinese, and the reintegration of certain production lines.
The employment structure in the automotive industry will also evolve. with an increase in the share of engineers and technical executives, while the share of workers ‘continues to retreat, but more moderately than in the past, a reflection of increased demand for increased technical skills’. Administrative functions tend to decrease.
The age pyramid in the ‘sector is a major issue’: 18% of the current workforce automotive industry could lose 20% will have reached retirement age in 2030. and 29% in 2035. An evolution that poses both a challenge to renew skills and an opportunity to transform profiles’.
Despite everything. the recruitment needs ‘will remain significant’ due to retirements and mobility between sectors: the study figures at some 6200 the positions to be filled each year.
It is therefore necessary to ‘adapt the training and attractiveness policies’, ‘despite a global trajectory of contraction’.
