The Guitar Market in France
The term guitar comes from the ancient Greek: κιθάρα / kithara: zither. It is a plucked string instrument. The strings are laid parallel to the soundboard and neck, usually cut with frets, on which the strings are pressed, with one hand, to produce different notes. The strings are plucked with the other hand: either with the fingernails and fingertips, or with a pick.

The term guitar comes from the ancient Greek: κιθάρα / kithara: zither. It is a plucked string instrument. The strings are laid parallel to the soundboard and neck, usually cut with frets, on which the strings are pressed, with one hand, to produce different notes. The strings are plucked with the other hand: either with the fingernails and fingertips, or with a pick.
The most common guitar has six strings. The guitar is the most widespread European variant of the lute-box-necked instrument category. The following instruments belong to the same category: balalaika, bouzouki, charango, lute, mandolin, oud, theorbo, ukulele.
The guitar differs from these instruments in shape, number of strings and most common tuning. Variants of the classical guitar have other regional names: viola, violão, cavaco and cavaquinho; tiple and requinto.
There are many different types of guitar, each with its own ambitus and timbre, but most share the same playing techniques. The soundboard is the hollow body of the guitar, which transforms the vibration of the strings into sound waves. With few exceptions, the guitar case is made of wood.
The electric guitar was created in the 20th century. It does not require a resonance box. It's a new instrument, with an electronic amplifier and loudspeaker, and offers far greater possibilities of timbre variation than the acoustic guitar.
The guitar is an easy-to-carry instrument, making it ideal for accompanying songs from a wide range of musical registers. European classical music contains a vast repertoire for guitar. The guitar is also the characteristic instrument of flamenco, where it accompanies singing and dancing. The guitar's popularity grew with the international spread of North American music in the 20th century, such as jazz, blues, country, pop, rock, reggae and soul. Alongside the piano, harmonica and violin, the guitar is one of the most widely played instruments in the world.
As a result, thehe global guitar market was valued at10.30 billion dollars in 2022and is expected to record aCAGR of 7.7%from 2023 to 2030 [GrandViewResearch].
