Synthèse
looking ahead to 2020, the French business school market reflects significant growth, with a 6.3% increase in student numbers and an expansion of over 100 establishments over the past five years. The size of the initial training market in business schools exceeded 2 billion euros in 2019, with continuing education accounting for a substantial share of schools' revenues. The market is also seeing strong concentration and competitiveness, particularly among the prestigious grandes écoles, which are increasingly targeting international students, especially those from the fast-growing student populations of Asia and Oceania. Regulatory frameworks govern these institutions, with Group I schools being state-recognized and offering at least one government-certified degree, distinguishing them from Group II and III schools. Business schools compete to attract students through innovative offerings and partnerships, and the landscape has been changing with a decrease in public subsidies and an increase in tuition fees, reflecting the need to remain competitive in a global context where privatization prevails.
Dynamic growth and international influence of French business schools
In recent years, French business schools have experienced a remarkable increase in national and international demand. France's reputation for outstanding business education is widely recognized, with more than 10 schools consistently ranking in the top 50 worldwide for MBA programs. The increase in student numbers is also notable within France's borders, with the student population growing by an impressive 6.3% in 2019/2020 alone. internationally, the number of students seeking a business education continues to grow, particularly in Asia and Oceania, where the student population has increased significantly, accounting for more than half of the world's school demographics. French schools, in turn, have become increasingly attractive to these international students, as evidenced by thethis is evidenced by the 70% increase in international enrolments in three years, particularly among students from Asia-Oceania, who now represent around a third of the student body at French business schools.
The proliferation of business schools in France is remarkable, with over 300 establishments operating nationwide. Group I schools, which are state-approved and offer at least one diploma certified by the Ministry of Higher Education, account for the vast majority of these students, with enrolments of between 120,000 and 160,000. As the sector continues to be privatized, competition between these establishments has intensified, prompting them to innovate and diversify their offerings to maintain their competitive edge and prestige. In financial terms, French business schools have entered a new era, with initial training programs in France generating a market worth around €2 billion in 2019. This figure testifies to the vitality of the market, even if it does not include income from continuing education, which is a significant source of revenue for these establishments.
In short, French business schools are on a strong growth trajectory and are strategically positioned to meet the growing demand for high-level business training. This trend is fueled by the schools' ability to adapt and innovate, as well as by the growing influx of international students attracted by the quality and reputation of French business education

Sommaire et extraits
1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and general presentation of the market
A business school is an institution of higher education with a specialization in management and commerce The DEPP (Direction de l'évaluation de la prospective et de la performance) and the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, classify business schools as follows three groups:
- Group I (76% of students) schools are state-approved and offer a minimum of 1 diploma sought (may be issued by the State) by the Ministry of Higher Education ;
- Group II: Schools state-approved but which do not deliver no diploma aimed at ;
- Group III: Schools not recognized by the State.
A distinction is also made between Grandes Ecoles (about 30 establishments) and the others. Finally, the schools are distinguished according to their status type (public, private or consular) and the training type which they deliver: Bachelor's, Master's, Mastère, MBA, Double Diploma, etc.
The types of training are themselves divided into two categories pre-service training (the student follows his first course of study there since the baccalaureate), and continuing education (the student already has work experience, and returns to school to train again: to develop his or her career).
The global market for business schools is in strong growth, particularly in Asia, where the number of students is growing exponentially and the reputation of its programs is increasingly recognized. Supply keeps pace with the demand from the growing number of students seeking internationally recognized training and diplomas. In this respect, France is a bridgehead with more than 10 schools in the top 50 worldwide for Masters in management
In France, the market is also rising sharply, with a 6.3% increase in student numbers in 2019/2020. The number of schools is increasing by more than 100 establishments in 5 years
The market is coming out of a privatization wave and thus sees increased competition. Schools are raising more and more funds for diversify their offer and defend their prestige . Financial resources are the key to the new competitive world of business schools, which compete in ingenuity to attract the best students and teachers
The French market is therefore highly concentrated and highly competitive, but this competition is established on different scales. The Grandes Ecoles are positioned on prestige and international influence, while more confidential schools target specific segments of teaching and practical skills
Economically, for the most prestigious (HEC, ESSEC, ESCP, EM LYON, EDHEC...) of the grandes écoles, continuing education is a real godsend, because with equivalent training, professionals are willing to pay the price for graduating from a first-rate institution. Moreover, it is often the companies that pay.
The trend is towards autonomy and ambition. Schools need the means to develop, and cannot indefinitely raise school fees. The classic model is being challenged and the supply is moving towards the soft skills and outreach abroad
