Furniture market in France: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in France awarded 1,383 supply contracts for furniture through award notices on TED; the 558 of them that state a value (40.3%) add up to €236 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. France imported €8.16 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to furniture in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 9403, 9401 and 4814; all buyers, not only public ones), down 4.6% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 1,101 companies have won 3,569 public supply contracts for furniture in France, in 1,336 award notices from 854 public buyers.
  • 99.2% of these awards went to companies registered in France; the most frequent foreign origin is Belgium.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 14.2% of all awards.
  • 16.9% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in France — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €486 billion in 2025, 16.2% of GDP (Eurostat). Award notices on TED cover only the contracts above the EU thresholds, so they show who wins, not the whole of that spending.
