The "France Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2028 (Q4 2024)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The construction industry in France estimated to decline in real terms by 3.2% in 2024 and register marginal growth of 0.9% in 2025, owing to high energy prices, elevated inflation and a budget deficit that needs to be resolved. According to the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE), the business climate index declined by 2.9% year on year (YoY) in the first ten months of 2024, following a 4.4% drop in 2023.
Furthermore, the average residential and non-residential turnover index of the construction of buildings fell by 5.7% YoY in the first eight months of 2024 according to INSEE. The construction industry's performance will also be constrained by ongoing weakness in the residential sector, which has been declining since 2022, owing to a drop in residential permits. According to the INSEE, the total floor area of authorized dwellings fell by 15.7% YoY in the first nine months of 2024; preceded by an annual decline of 27.3% in 2023.
In response to a warning from the European Union (EU) about France's rising public-sector deficit, which is expected to exceed 6.1% of GDP in 2024, the government presented a draft 2025 Budget in October 2024, aimed at reducing the deficit with EUR60.6 billion ($63.6 billion) in spending cuts and tax hikes. These measures include cuts to apprenticeships, environmental programs, foreign aid and reducing government jobs.
The budget also includes higher taxes on large corporations, especially in the construction sector, and temporary taxes on defense, airlines, and shipping companies. Vinci, for example, expects to pay an additional EUR400 million ($424 million) in taxes in 2025. But, due to the collapse of Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government, following the no confidence vote in December 2024, President Emmanuel Macron must appoint a new prime minister
