France Construction Market is Expected to Reach USD 394.85 Billion by 2030

Implementation of sustainability standards is driving the France construction market growth during the forecast period

The France Construction Market size was valued at USD 295.83 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow to USD 325.83 billion by 2025. Additionally, the industry is expected to continue its growth trajectory, reaching USD 394.85 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 3.9% from 2025 to 2030, according to new research by Next Move Strategy Consulting.

The construction market in France is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by growing environmental awareness and the enforcement of sustainability and energy efficiency regulations. This shift is increasing demand for eco-friendly infrastructure practices and encouraging innovation across the sector. 

A notable example is the Provence Grand Large project, a 25.2 MW floating offshore wind farm developed by EDF Renewables and Enbridge in the Mediterranean Sea. Construction made substantial progress in 2024 with the installation of three 8.4 MW Siemens Gamesa turbines, and grid connection is planned for early 2025. Capable of powering approximately 45,000 households annually, this project demonstrates France’s commitment to renewable energy and sustainable development, while also contributing to the expansion of the construction market.

However, the infrastructure sector in France faces considerable challenges. Projects must navigate a complex web of permitting processes, requiring multiple approvals from local, regional, and national authorities. These include zoning compliance, environmental assessments, building codes, and safety standards. Lengthy permit procedures and bureaucratic inefficiencies significantly delay project timelines and raise costs. In addition, unexpected changes during the approval process disrupt ongoing work and discourage future investment.

On the other hand, the construction sector is experiencing a digital shift fueled by the widespread adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM), which is unlocking new growth opportunities. BIM enables accurate digital design, simulation, and infrastructure management, improving coordination, precision, and resource efficiency. 

In April 2024, ALLPLAN introduced Allplan 2024-1 to strengthen BIM and cloud-based workflows, underlining the industry's move toward digital project execution. The integration of technologies such as AI, IoT, and cloud computing is also enhancing real-time collaboration, predictive maintenance, and facility management.
