Synthèse
The French tableware market, which incorporates various segments such as cutlery, cookware, kitchen utensils, and decorative items, faced a significant impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic with an 80% sales drop in April 2020 compared to the previous year. However, the sector recovered by June 2020, limiting its annual loss to 7%, thanks to a surge in online sales which grew by over 50% and clearance store purchases. The international trade remains crucial, with exports reaching 264 million euros, yet imports led to a trade deficit of 46 million euros, primarily due to substantial ceramic and glass item imports from China. While traditional production suffers, there is a notable trend towards Made in France goods, which saw glassware and cutlery segments rise by 12% and 11% respectively. Despite challenges, the sector sees renewed consumer interest post-pandemic in 2021, with a spike in sales driven by the reopening of cafes, hotels, and restaurants, and an inclination towards home aesthetics and comfort.
Evolving Tastes and Trends in the French Tableware Market
Amidst the vibrant and culturally rich backdrop of France, the tableware market has encountered its ebbs and flows. Over the years, the French tableware market has adapted to a myriad of changes, reflecting dynamic consumer demands and global market trends. Despite a challenging period marked by the pandemic's onset, the industry has shown resilience, evidenced by diminishing losses towards the end of 2020, bolstered by a significant rise in online sales, which soared by more than half compared to the previous year.
The domain of tableware extends beyond table settings, embracing cutlery, kitchen gadgets, small portable appliances, and intricate decorations. The market's segmentation showcases a reasonably uniform distribution across various product categories, with both tableware and cookware taking the lead, each representing over one-fifth of the market share. French households direct their spending chiefly towards tableware, glasses, and preparation utensils, a pattern that is also mirrored through a gradual inflation of consumer prices in this sector, growing by a modest rate close to 6% over several years.
Drilling down into the dynamics of this industry, manufacturers exhibit multifaceted sales channels but heavily rely on retail sales, which were close to 40%. Conversely, wholesalers demonstrate reliance on fewer distribution channels, where retail and "RHC" (most likely referring to hotels, restaurants, and cafes) dominate, with retail sales just under half and RHC commanding over half of their sales.
The French rank mainstream brands high, with Ikea leading in market share, followed by a patchwork of local retailers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Yet, specialized stores have witnessed a downtrend, with number and surface area experiences a contraction. The surge in e-commerce has palpated through the tableware sector, representing about 10% of the total market – a significant change considering the annual growth rate of e-commerce outstripping that of the overall sector.
Despite this, physical stores remain steadfast, with an innovative thrust towards design object status for tableware, leading to its inclusion in varied retail environments. Internationally, French tableware is defined broadly, including peripherals like decorative items and kitchenware. Although such inclusivity complicates a unified global analysis, focused studies reveal promising growth potential.
The global market value of tableware stands robust, with forecasts of continuous expansion, energized by developing economies' economic growth and soaring design advancements.

1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of the study
Tableware refers to the arts associated with cooking and the decoration of the space dedicated to it. The tableware market is composed of many segments, including tableware, cutlery, kitchen utensils, table linen, small portable appliances and decoration.
After years of decline of French manufacturers due to competition from low-cost Asian products, some producers located in France have managed to direct part of their production to export with success. Today, more than half of French production is exported, with constant design innovations aimed at conquering domestic and foreign markets.in a globalized environment, and while many small, family-owned companies with historical roots remain, the Tableware market continues to adapt to changing consumer demand.
While the covid-19 crisis dealt a blow to the market in 2020, the market managed to reduce its losses at the end of the year, supported by online sales, which grew by more than 50% over the year, and by sales at clearance stores.
While this study includes all tableware products, including the decoration segment, the latter is the subject of a specific study and not all aspects of the segment will be addressed here.
