Summary

According to Spherical Insights, the global concierge services market is growing significantly, with a CAGR of 6.1% between 2021 and 2030. The market, valued at $750.8 million in 2021, is mainly driven by an increase in customer affluence, leading to greater outsourcing of everyday tasks.

Digital concierge services are also gaining ground, offering low-cost technological solutions. Corporate concierge services are also on the rise, driven by growing demand from businesses looking to help their employees balance their professional and private lives.

This B2B demand is part of a wider trend towards the democratization of concierge services, driven by widespread access to the Internet and people's difficulties in managing their professional and personal lives, with these difficulties having increased by 9 points. The market is diversifying, with specialized services for specific niches, such as footballers or Airbnb rental management, while at the same time experiencing a trend towards partnerships and the integration of concierge services into "office of the future" complexes.

The French market, despite the challenges, maintains a variety of offerings ranging from corporate services to digital services to high-end luxury services.

The changing dynamics of the French concierge services market

The French concierge market has undergone significant change in recent years, with a notable trend towards democratization, diversification and digitization. The market, once valued at around 50 million euros, has seen a gradual slowdown in growth due to market saturation and competition, with smaller entities growing by only around 0.5% a year. Larger entities fared slightly better, with an estimated annual growth rate of around 2%. Despite the slowdown, the luxury concierge segment is enjoying renewed dynamism, particularly in the "travel" sector. Companies like Premium Conciergerie are forecasting sales growth of 20-25% year-on-year, with travel-related services accounting for 60-65% of their business.

Demand for B2C concierge services is undergoing a transformation, as traditional luxury customers are joined by a broader clientele looking for everyday services. The market is expanding to meet the needs of individuals who need help with everyday tasks, from dog-sitting to administrative assistance. Digital concierge services, such as Wiidii, which harnesses artificial intelligence to handle simple customer requests, are helping to bring low-cost, high-quality services to a wider demographic. The growth in B2B demand is particularly noteworthy, as companies increasingly seek to provide value-added services to their employees.

To facilitate work-life balance, companies are integrating concierge services into the workplace, enabling employees to access everything from laundry to administrative assistance directly on site. These benefits are seen as a way of attracting talent and improving productivity. The concierge market ecosystem is based on a multitude of partnerships, enabling different players to collaborate and integrate services. For example, the inclusion of Premium Conciergerie in the exclusive Virtuoso network reflects these strategic alliances that enhance their service offering.

Supermarkets, like Carrefour, are partnering with concierge companies, bringing the day-to-day comfort of customers and employees closer together. Finally, due to the competitive nature of the market, there is a noticeable trend towards consolidation, with many companies merging or being acquired by larger entities, or peripheral companies entering the concierge services business.

The franchise model has also emerged as a viable strategy for expansion, enabling companies to leverage brand recognition while adapting to local market needs.

In short, the French concierge market is a dynamic and evolving landscape.

Summary and extracts

1 Market overview

1.1 Definition and scope of study

A concierge service is a personal assistance company offering its customers a range of day-to-day services, such as finding an emergency plumber, obtaining a visa, waiting for a delivery, buying and wrapping gifts, organizing a dinner party at home, or collecting a piece of paper from the tax office. The stated aim is to simplify customers' lives by saving them time. A similar service is now being developed in France, that of the private assistant or personal secretary, who focuses more specifically on filing papers, dealing with administrative formalities and helping with household management. More recently, "e-conciergeries" offering dematerialized services have appeared. The concept refers to services comparable to those of a luxury hotel concierge, tasked with finding a solution to all practical worries, rather than a building concierge who traditionally only looks after common areas and mail.

The global concierge market is bo oming, with an expected CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 6.1% per year between 2021 and 2030. While North America remains the dominant continent in the market, development is expected to be driven by rapid growth in the Asia-Pacific market, thanks in particular to an improvement in the average standard of living on the continent. [Spherical Insights] In France, the market is expected to expand by a modest 0.5% per year up to 2022. Indeed, after a decade of strong growth, the market is entering a phase of concentration, with mergers and acquisitions and the bankruptcy of players who have failed to reach critical mass. However, the post-Covid context and the upturn in tourism are giving the market a new impetus. [Le Parisien]

However, the French market still offers interesting prospects, with the advent of digital concierge services that manage to offer low-cost solutions, the development of corporate concierge services for B2B customers, and that of Airbnb concierge services in line with the rental platform's growing presence in major French cities.
