MARKET SUMMARY
1.1. Presentation and market definition
The wedding market includes all products and services revolving around marriage. This includes, among other things, clothing (wedding dress and costumes), venue, catering, decoration, etc.
The size of the global wedding market is increasing in line with stronger disposable income, and the strong cultural and social ties linked to marriage. The US leads the global market in terms of expenditure.
The size of the French wedding market is decreasing due to several factors: first, marriages overall are declining. Since 2004, the number of marriages in France has decreased by 21%, which puts pressure on companies operating in this industry. Secondly, consumers in France, unlike in the United States, are less willing to spend vast amounts on weddings.
A trend which is emerging in France, and which is related to expenditure, is the rise of do-it-yourself (DIY) arrangements in weddings, where products related to the wedding (invitations, decoration etc.) are "home-made". Again, this means that market players in this industry forego potential sales in an industry which is already highly fragmented with pressure on margins.
Finally, COVID-19 will have a detrimental effect on the wedding market in France, a harm which will most likely persist going into 2021 as well.
