class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key figures for French e-commerce in 2024<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac175 billion<\/strong>&nbsp;in online sales, up 10%<br>\u2013 the number of transactions also increased by&nbsp;<strong>10%<\/strong><br>\u2013&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac67 billion<\/strong>&nbsp;generated by online product sales<br>\u2013&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac108 billion<\/strong>&nbsp;generated by services, up 12%<br>\u2013 travel is among the most dynamic online categories<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Volume or price: why the distinction matters<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the most important part of the 2024 figures and perhaps the easiest to overlook.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Revenue can increase for two very different reasons:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>because consumers buy more, or because the same purchases cost more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both produce higher turnover, but they describe very different economic realities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the period of high inflation, part of e-commerce growth was largely nominal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Revenue increased because prices increased, even when purchase volumes did not necessarily rise at the same pace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2024, the underlying mechanism changed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<strong>number of transactions rose by 10%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumers were therefore making more purchases online, rather than revenue growth being explained primarily by higher prices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes the 2024 performance a stronger signal of&nbsp;<strong>underlying demand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Services are far larger than products online<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The breakdown reveals another important feature of French e-commerce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online product sales generated around&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac67 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Services generated approximately&nbsp;<strong>\u20ac108 billion<\/strong>, with growth of&nbsp;<strong>12%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Services therefore account for close to two-thirds of French online commerce by value and are also the more dynamic segment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This challenges the most common image of e-commerce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online shopping is often associated primarily with parcels arriving at consumers\u2019 homes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But a large part of French e-commerce is actually based on&nbsp;<strong>bookings and services<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 travel<br>\u2013 transport<br>\u2013 accommodation<br>\u2013 ticketing<br>\u2013 entertainment<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And travel is among the strongest-performing categories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What the growth of online travel tells us<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strong online travel sales are more than a sector-specific detail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They provide further evidence for a broader pattern documented by the&nbsp;<strong>Cetelem Observatory<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>when household budgets are under pressure, spending on pleasure, services and experiences can prove more resilient than spending on durable goods.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same pattern appears in several places.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 In e-commerce, services are growing by 12% and travel is among the strongest segments<br>\u2013 In national accounts, spending on services continued to rise even when consumption of goods was flat<br>\u2013 In leisure markets, theme parks, cultural spending and holidays have shown significant resilience<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">E-commerce offers a particularly useful observation point because it records&nbsp;<strong>actual, dated and quantified transactions<\/strong>, rather than stated intentions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49\u00a0<strong><a

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The nature of growth has changed<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shift from price-led growth towards transaction-led growth suggests that the increase in e-commerce activity reflects stronger purchasing volumes rather than simply inflation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>French e-commerce is largely a services market<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At approximately \u20ac108 billion compared with \u20ac67 billion for products, services account for most of the market\u2019s value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words,&nbsp;<strong>booking matters more than delivery<\/strong> even if the parcel remains the dominant image associated with e-commerce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Household priorities can be seen directly in online baskets<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">E-commerce data captures what consumers actually purchase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the categories growing fastest suggest that&nbsp;<strong>experiences and
