Summary

The interior architecture market has experienced robust global growth, particularly in the hotel, restaurant and commercial space sectors. Post-2020 data, while not explicitly detailed in the text, can be extrapolated from the growth trends provided. Average annual growth was 6.75%, indicating a healthy and expanding industry.

The French sector alone has annual sales estimated at nearly €2 billion, with some 1,500 companies engaged in around 40,000 interior design operations a year. The market is still artisanal in nature, especially in France, but is undergoing a digital transformation with the advent of virtual reality and connected objects enriching service offerings. Hygiene, accessibility and safety regulations are essential considerations in this sector. Prices for interior design services vary according to the quality and specific needs of the project, significantly so for retail outlets, restaurants and hotels.

The French Interior Decoration Market: Between Traditional Craftsmanship and Digital Innovation

The supply chain includes both standardized and bespoke furniture production, with downstream production fragmented on a national scale. Other market differentiators include labels and certifications that guarantee origin, quality and adherence to cultural design philosophies such as Feng Shui, aimed at the luxury segment and international customers. french interior design market, which encompasses hotels, restaurants and retail outlets, presents a landscape that is shaped by the evolving desires of its corporate clients and the ever-changing expectations of end-consumers. Part of a larger global market valued in the billions, this specialized sector is integral to the customer loyalty strategies of its constituent companies, underscoring the importance of the industry.

One of the key characteristics of the French market is its highly artisanal nature, which boasts a strong tradition of innovation in materials, suggesting that customization and specialization remain core competencies within the sector. With a wave of digitization, the market is also evolving, with augmented reality and 3D modeling improving the breadth and depth of offerings available to customers. In addition, the integration of connected objects into interior design suggests a growing link between technology and traditional craftsmanship, broadening the scope of what interior designers can offer. Demand in this sector is primarily influenced by the number of establishments and their respective turnover rates, including openings, closures and renovations.

In France, the number of hotels is unevenly distributed. It's a huge industry that has grown considerably in recent decades, a sign of a flourishing sector fueled in part by the global democratization of travel and France's appeal to foreign tourists. With some 18,000 to 20,000 hotels and over 660,000 rooms, the potential for interior design projects in this niche is vast. This trend fits well with the French market's emphasis on the provision of highly personalized services, which can justify significant differentiation in project pricing based on various factors such as quality expectations and complexity. Despite the market's artisanal and personalized approach, the interior design profession must constantly adapt, not only to trends, but also to health, safety and accessibility regulations. These regulations have become more stringent, requiring professional design services adapted to the nuances of legal standards.

In terms of supply chain dynamics, the French interior design market relies on the furniture manufacturing segment, with professional furniture manufacturing making up a significant share. This positions the market on a dual track where standard products are used alongside bespoke furniture, meeting the varied needs of customers. Downstream, the home furnishings market is booming.

Summary and extracts

1 Market summary

1.1 Scope and market definition

Interior design is by definition the "arrangement of volumes and decorative elements in relation to each other". The designer in charge of the layout must use his know-how in furniture design, organization, and site supervision. The designer must, therefore, call on a wide range of professions: Design office technician, project manager, site manager, manufacturing workshop operator... It is possible to internalize all these professions or to use service providers. In practice, the designer is therefore responsible for the interior layout of a building. According to L’Ameublement Français, the categories of spaces concerned are as follows:

  • recreational spaces (cinema, theatre...) ;
  • commercial spaces (point of sale, exhibition...) ;
  • spaces of care and health (medical office, hospital...) ;
  • collective spaces (station, airport...) ;
  • office space ;
  • hotel, restaurant, café and discotheque areas.

For the purposes of the study, we will focus only on the hotel, restaurant and sales point market.

This diagram represents the main activities covered by the fittings business:

This polymorphous profession must deal with the latest trends in a growing market driven by the needs of corporate customers and the expectations of end consumers.
