Summary

Despite the appearance of maturity, the French paint and coatings market has much potential in key sectors such as building paints and DIY. Recent devolution by the French government has spawned increased investment in construction projects, while the combination of a preference for home ownership and increased frequency of redecoration - often using mid-range and premium finishes - drive the market towards high-value applications. French carmakers are also performing strongly in Western Europe with good growth in an essentially flat Western European market

These facts are some of the early findings of IRL's latest title, A Profile of the French Paint Industry, which contains information on the following topics:

Paint production
Paint imports and exports
Paint consumption and per capita use
Market splits by paint type/end use
Information on paint producers
Trends in end-user industries
Market forecasts and growth rates

The report will include a five-year market forecast based on estimates of the various paint sector sizes for the year 2004 to 2009. Fuller information on the planned contents of the report is given on the right.

Research for this title has included a comprehensive programme of desk research, a review of all available published sources and interviews with senior industry executives. Interviews for this title have been conducted by a native French speaker - between April and June 2005.

This report will serve as a valuable tool to strategic planners, business analysts and marketing managers involved in the manufacture, distribution and marketing of paints and coatings and their raw materials.
