The painting market covers all work carried out using paint by companies in the construction sector, as opposed to industrial painting, which takes place in a workshop and involves the direct application of paint to equipment/objects. Painting work can be maintenance-renovation or painting of recently built structures.
There are two types of company in this market:
General painters, who work exclusively for private customers.
Specialized painters who work either on works of art, renovation of historic buildings or public works.
The French painting market has been buoyant in recent years, recording growth of 18.5% over the past 10 years. It is driven by the construction and renovation segment. In addition, the covid-19 crisis has led many French people to rethink their interiors and undertake renovation work. The crisis was therefore an opportunity to revive the sector, which recorded very good growth in 2021.
Paintwork activity is therefore dependent on a number of factors, such as the construction of new homes and non-residential buildings, as well as transactions in older buildings. However, it is increasingly threatened by the growing desire of French consumers to carry out their own home improvements, which includes painting.
