FRANCE: THE WALLPAPER MARKET

Article Abstract:

Thicker papers which are easier to install, papers with relief patterns, and plain products, are part of the new trends in wallpaper in France. In France, this market suffers from the wide range of prices (from a few FFr to FFr 120-160 the roll), too many references available, and the lack of communication from brands. The very fragmented market houses several dozens of manufacturers, though only two (Essef and Abelia) have a significant size with around one third or one quarter of the market.
