Summary and extracts

1 Market overview

1.1 Definition and scope of study

The electrical installation market covers all activities related to the installation, maintenance and renovation of electrical systems in various types of buildings and infrastructures. This includes

  • Initial installation in new residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
  • Rehabilitation and renovation of existing installations.
  • Integration of home automation for equipment automation.
  • Installation of electric vehicle recharging systems(IRVE), renewable energy sources such as solar panels, and other emerging technologies.
  • Preventive and corrective maintenance of electrical systems.
  • Compliance with safety and energy efficiency standards.

In France, the electrical installation market is segmented between new-build (36%) and renovation (64%) activities. New construction has been affected by volatile property prices, leading to generally negative fluctuations in demand for new electrical installations: for example, the number of single-family homes built in January 2024 was around 10,000, compared with over 20,000 in 2022. By contrast, the energy renovation sector benefits from government incentives such as MaPrimeRénov and tax breaks, although this market is showing signs of slowing down.

The advent of home automation, electric vehicle charging infrastructure (IRVE) and solar panel installations is also influencing the market. Home automation, in particular, is transforming the way buildings are managed and consume energy, promoting more intelligent, integrated electrical installations.

On the distribution side, electrical equipment suppliers such as Rexel and Sonepar hold significant bargaining power and directly influence installation market prices, which are themselves subject to the rising cost of raw materials such as copper.
