Summary of our market study
The French market for dual-control vehicles for driving schools is valued at around €300 million
The Macron law (2015) has stimulated the growth of alternative methods of driver training, such as the rental of dual-control cars for private use and the emergence of a new customer segment made up of auto-entrepreneurs linked to online platforms.
Driving schools remain the main customers for dual-control vehicles, but their numbers are declining after steady growth between 2007 and 2016.
The French driving school market is estimated at between €1.5 and €1.7 billion in 2022. With an annual decline of around 2% and lower overall sales in the driving school market, demand for dual-control cars and systems is set to fall.
There has been a steady decline in new registrations for the light driving test. Between 2015 and 2019, the number of registrants fell from around 1,026,414 to 977,946. Factors contributing to this decline include the declining interest of urban populations in obtaining a driver's license and the high cost of obtaining a driver's license.
The fleet of driving school vehicles is estimated at around 282 million euros. The conversion to dual-control vehicles represents more than 25 million euros, for the traditional driving school segment alone. However, the market extends beyond this, to include auto-entrepreneurs associated with online driving schools.
French manufacturers continue to hold a strong position, accounting for nearly 95% of driving school vehicle registrations in 2017. Citroën C3, Peugeot 208 and Renault Clio models dominate, accounting for 81% of registrations. The average price of a dual-control car is around 16,500 euros, and the conversion cost between 1,000 and 2,000 euros.
The market is influenced by the growing influence of online driving schools such as Ornikar.online driving schools have become an important and fast-growing segment. They offer lower prices, greater flexibility and digital customer service.
