Key figures of the supply chain consulting market in France

Supply chain consulting covers assignments entrusted to outside firms to design, run or transform a company’s supply chain: master plan, planning and forecasting (S&OP), purchasing, transport, warehouses, and the selection and rollout of software (ERP, APS, WMS). The market brings together specialist firms and the operations teams of the large strategy and audit firms; it excludes logistics services themselves and software publishing. It falls under Insee’s NAF code 70.22Z (the French statistics institute), “Business and other management consultancy activities”, which is much broader than the market itself.

The supply chain consulting market in France in 6 questions

Our analysts’ answers, taken from the study. The full analysis, the charts and the detailed sources are in the report.

How big is the supply chain consulting market in France?

No public statistic measures supply chain consulting in France on its own. All consulting professions together represent about €20bn in revenue, 15,000 companies and 120,000 people, according to Syntec Conseil’s key figures. Supply chain consulting is one segment of it: Supply Chain Magazine’s overview lists 133 specialist firms in its 2026 edition, against 132 in 2024, already a record according to the magazine.

How is the supply chain consulting market changing in France?

Supply chain consulting in France sits in a consulting sector that is slowing: according to Syntec Conseil, quoted by Les Echos in November 2025, consulting activity stagnated in 2024 and is expected to fall by 2–3% in 2025, after a decade of strong growth. Small firms, focused on SMEs and mid-sized companies, are holding up better than large groups, which are more exposed to budget cuts at CAC 40 and SBF 120 companies.

Who are the leading supply chain consulting firms in France?

Supply chain consulting in France brings together specialist firms and big consulting names. According to Supply Chain Magazine (February 2024), Inverto (a Boston Consulting Group subsidiary), McKinsey & Company and Oliver Wyman entered its overview for the first time, alongside EY, KPMG, Kea & Partners and Roland Berger. Among the specialists, Mews Partners is expected to reach €70m in revenue in 2026, according to the same magazine (November 2026).

Is the supply chain consulting market consolidating in France?

Yes, supply chain consulting in France is consolidating. In November 2026, Mews Partners acquired Opeo (40 consultants, €10m in revenue); in October 2026, Advents and Cometh merged under the Sideby brand (80 consultants, €15m), according to Supply Chain Magazine. Kepler Consulting Group, in receivership since September 2025 with €8m in revenue in France in 2025, has received offers from Sia Partners and TNP Consultants.

How is artificial intelligence changing supply chain consulting in France?

Artificial intelligence has become an everyday tool of supply chain consulting in France. According to Supply Chain Magazine (February 2026), the 133 firms surveyed for the 2026 overview now consider it operational, whereas it was almost absent from their answers two years earlier. It serves first forecasting and planning (S&OP, IBP), scenario simulation, and inventory and replenishment optimisation, then warehouse operations such as picking.

What are the trends in supply chain consulting in France?

The 132 firms surveyed by Supply Chain Magazine in 2024 put decarbonisation and CSR at the top of supply chain consulting priorities in France, with a carbon footprint built into master plans. Next come the circular economy and returns management, resilience to geopolitical and climate risks, supplier reshoring and digitalisation. The loi n° 2017-399 du 27 mars 2017 (the French duty of vigilance law) also requires a vigilance plan from companies with at least 5,000 employees in France.
