Retail e-commerce revenue in France 2017-2025

In 2021, the e-commerce market in France generated total revenue of 92.7 billion U.S. dollars. According to estimates of the Statista Digital Market Outlook, the total revenue in this market is forecast to increase in the coming years, exceeding 43 billion dollars by 2025.

E-commerce growth prospects

France was one of the top three European countries in terms of total revenue generated by online sales in 2021, in addition to being the seventh country in terms of the share of GDP made up by e-commerce. As online retail continues to grow and evolve in France, some segments are bound to contribute more than others to the industry's continued success. The fashion segment, for instance, is forecast to play an increasingly important role in the next few years, as the number of fashion e-commerce users in everything from accessories to apparel is estimated to grow by the millions.

A fashion statement

Given that the online fashion sector in France is forecast to grow substantially in the near future, it is perhaps no surprise that e-commerce sales are set to account for more than a third of total apparel sales in the country by 2025. Moreover, estimates indicate that in the same year, the online fashion segment would generate around 43 billion U.S. dollars in revenues, by far the largest of all in the French e-commerce market.
