Summary of our market study

The French market for child car seats is estimated at between 200 and 250 million euros.

The worldwide market for child car seats is estimated at 5 billion dollars, while the European market for child car seats is worth over 1.4 billion euros.

Despite the importance attached to road safety and regulations that support demand, and the falling birth rate in France, the French market has remained solid.

The French market is highly concentrated, with major companies such as TeamTex, Dorel France, Recaro, Graco and Britax-Römer.

Hypermarkets and specialty stores are the main distribution channels. Online sales are expanding rapidly.

Products cater for different age groups and safety needs, from booster seats for older children to compulsory rear-facing seats for children under 15 months.

Prices for these seats range from 1,000 euros for economy options to around 400 euros for top-of-the-range seats.

The stability in the number of fatal car accidents in France since 2013, and the significant reduction in the number of children killed on the roads, indicate a positive impact of safety measures and the use of car seats.

Summary and extracts

1 Market overview

1.1 Market overview and definition

The child car seat market covers all sales of seats designed to ensure the safety and well-being of small children in vehicles.

According to Globenewswirea child car seat is designed to protect children in vehicle accidents or collisions. The child car seat market is segmented into different product types and distribution channels: for example, there are booster seats, infant car seats, combination seats and convertible seats. Booster seats have long dominated the market. Booster seats can also be segmented into backless booster seats and high-back booster seats. We'll look at all these product types when describing the child car seat market.

Children's car seats are generally secured in the car using the seatbelt or the Isofix system (ISO standard for anchoring children's car seats directly to the car seat by means of two or three metal locking clamps on the back of the car seat).

According to uFC-Que Choisiraccording to UFC-Que Choisir, Isofix seats, which are designed to facilitate installation of the child seat, are categorized into two segments according to the child's weight:

  • group 0 and 0+ for children weighing up to 13 kilograms;
  • group 1 for children weighing between 9 and 18 kilograms.

Most French carmakers, such as Renault, Citroën, Opel and Peugeot, have equipped their vehicles with three-point mountings for child seats, as new cars have been required to be fitted with the Isofix system since February 2011.

On average, two to threedifferent car seats are needed to support the growth of each child occupying a vehicle. This fact, combined with the constraints of national and European regulations, parents' growing concern for their children's safety, and the increase in the number of newly-registered cars, augurs well for growth in the child car seat market.
