Study Overview

First of all, it's important to note the difference between a coach and a bus. Thebus is used to transport passengers within a city or between neighboring suburbs, while the coach allows passengers to travel from one city to another. In France, coach travel can be segmented into several offerings: urban and on-demand transport, school transport, freely organized coach transport and tourist/occasional transport. In France, coach travel has become more democratized in recent years, particularly since the Macron law in 2015 liberalized the market for coaches in freely organized service, offering the French a multitude of national and international destinations available from Hexagone with prices often more attractive than that of train or plane. The global coach and bus manufacturing market is dynamic, with an estimated CAGR of 6% to 2027. If the number of buses and coaches manufactured grows, this suggests a growing demand for coach and bus transport. The French coach market is also enjoying positive momentum, with sales rising by 17. 2% between 2022 and 2023.
