“The French e-commerce market has numerous online marketplaces but also many other categories of e-retailers. There is strong purchasing power, a developed logistics sector and online purchasing is likely to remain high post-Covid - all of which means there is considerable growth potential for online businesses.”

In the years preceding 2020, optimism was high, and then COVID-19 came. The government’s response was decisive, with the financial support offered to businesses and citizens and a €100bn rescue package announced. Meanwhile, though somewhat obscured by COVID, Brexit added a further level of complexity. The UK’s departure from the EU sent ripples across the Channel, with experts predicting it could cost the French economy €1.9bn in lost exports.
Despite this, thanks mainly to its strong e-commerce sector, the recovery in France has been better than elsewhere in Europe.
Forecasts suggest that economic growth will return to 5.5% in 2021. This economic resilience should be reassuring to e-tailers considering France as a potential growth market for their businesses.
