Electrical Installation in France Industry Data and Analysis

IBISWorld
Analyst London, United Kingdom July 2025

Electricians play a critical role in residential, commercial and civil engineering construction markets, providing key services for both new building construction and repair, maintenance and overhaul activity. As a result, demand is linked to levels of activity in these markets. Contractors are also integral to France’s energy transition, with significant growth opportunities emerging as the government promotes energy efficiency and sustainability.Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 4.8% over the five years through 2025, reaching €43.8 billion. After declining at the height of the pandemic, revenue recorded a strong rebound in 2021, aided by the release of pent-up demand in building construction markets and mounting demand for repairs and maintenance from households and businesses. Following this, though, the industry’s fortunes reversed; a slump in building construction activity has weighed on demand for electrical installation since mid-2022, as rising borrowing costs and inflationary pressures have spurred challenges throughout the construction sector. Although robust demand for repair and maintenance services and strong demand from households undertaking energy retrofits has provided a degree of resilience to demand, revenue is still set to dip by 0.6% in 2025.Revenue is slated to rise at a compound annual rate of 1.2% over the five years through 2030, reaching €46.5 billion. Increased funding to boost the energy efficiency of buildings is set to drive demand for electricians, while efforts to increase renewable energy capacity will continue to spur demand for the installation of solar panels and battery storage systems. Further propping up demand, building construction markets are anticipated to record a modest recovery in the medium term as falling interest rates and receding inflation spur increased private investment. The installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure will remain a key area of growth, with the French government aiming to deploy seven million EV charging stations by 2030.
