Summary of our market study

In France, 80.5% of the population will live in urban areas by 2020. Urban greening initiatives are numerous and encouraged by public subsidies and regulations.

France is a pioneer in the green roof market.

Cities account for 60-80% of France's urban population. The city of Paris, despite having less green space per capita than other European cities, is experiencing a sharp increase in urban greening projects.

Extensive green roofs cost between 45 and 100 euros per square meter. The price of prefabricated sedum mats used in extensive roofing projects varies between 30 and 40 euros per square meter.

The French market is driven by start-ups and technological innovations (e.g. Topager and Sous les Fraises).

Public authorities support urban greening projects with a reduced VAT rate for ecological renovations and the creation of greening permits.

Summary and extracts

1 Market overview

1.1 Introduction

The urban greening is a process or art of populating the buildings ( terraces , roofing , walls etc.) of plants . The green roofing system is a set of materials and plants installed on a specific surface with the objective of ensuring the sustainability of the vegetation as well as the construction.

One of the fundamental elements of urban greening concerns the support elements for the plant parts (concrete slab, steel sheeting, wooden panels, etc.) which, depending on their nature and technical definition, are capable of supporting different loads and uses. A waterproofing coating, resistant to root penetration, is essential for the long-term functioning of the whole. Thermal insulation, generally placed under the waterproofing, completes the vegetation technique.

With several million square meters installed France is a pioneer country in the green roofing market worldwide. Only a few players, mainly in the field of waterproofing and building envelope, share the niche market of green roofing and urban greening in France.

The players in the urban greening market in France are banking on hQE projects and the taking of eco-responsible consciousness of prescribers to sustain their growth. The urban greening market in France can count on the new regulatory requirements to sustain its growth: as part of the biodiversity Act adopted in March 2015 by the National Assembly, an amendment makes it mandatory to install "renewable energy production processes" or a "greening system" on the roofs of new commercial spaces.
