Mostly CTR, not rankings.
Schema helps Google understand your page better and can get you rich snippets, which improves clicks.
But by itself, it’s not a strong ranking factor.
Still worth using, just don’t expect it to boost rankings directly.

It doesn’t directly affect rankings, but it increases CTR thanks to more noticeable snippets. As a result, it can indirectly support growth

As my opinion, schema doesn’t boost rankings directly much anymore, but it definitely helps with rich results and higher CTR, which indirectly improves performance.
