Motor Vehicle Parts & Accessories Manufacturing in France Industry Data and Analysis
France's car parts manufacturing industry is vital for the automotive sector, supporting major domestic vehicle manufacturers and serving a competitive international market. Component manufacturers operate in an integrated supply chain, importing and exporting high-quality components to automakers globally. The drop in French car production, caused by supply chain issues and a decline in demand for diesel vehicles, led to a drop in volumes shipped to car production plants. French car manufacturers produced 1.5 million vehicles in 2023 and 1.4 million in 2024, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA). The dip in output in 2024 directly reduced revenue for component manufacturers because of falling petrol and diesel car production. Industry revenue is projected to decrease at a compound annual rate of 0.9% to €28.7 billion over the five years through 2026, including a projected growth of 1.9% in 2026, when the average profit margin is set to rise to 8.9%. The expansion in profit over the period is aided by the sale of premium components for electric vehicle production and a drop in input costs.
