EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The value of total building construction output in France increased by 2 percent in 1998 to reach a value of FF442 billion (ECU67.0 billion), with new building work accounting for 43 percent of the total and repair, maintenance and improvement work representing 57 percent of the total output.

The level of housing starts increased by a significant 9 percent in 1998 after a downturn in the first four years of the review period. The number of individual housing starts amounted to 168 000 and the number of apartment buildings started was 117 000, together representing 285 000 dwellings started in 1998.

The market for house building can be segmented into two sectors, namely the social sector and the private sector, with the private sector accounting for the higher number of both apartment buildings and individual housing starts in France throughout the review period.

MSI believe that a number of factors have a significant impact on demand for new housing. Indeed, the client's willingness and ability to purchase a house combined with economic factors such as the level of unemployment and disposable income strongly influence the market. Moreover, factors such as government incentives, demographic trends and the geographical location also affect demand.

House building starts are forecast to increase by 6 percent between 1998 and 2003. Due to changes in the funding of the interest free loan, the individual housing sector is expected to report a slow down in the forthcoming years. In contrast, the level of starts in the apartment building sector is forecast to decline

in 2000 followed by a gradual increase. Indeed, the end of the P‚rissol incentive is expected to affect this segment in 2000.

Trade sources report different economic and demographic trends in the 22 regions of France which, in turn, affect the number of housing starts in every region. Ile-de-France recorded the highest number of housing starts throughout the review period. Private housing starts represented the largest share of all housing starts in Midi-Pyrenees and Languedoc-Roussillon in 1998, representing as much as 91 percent of the number of starts in these regions. The largest number of social housing starts was reported in Champagne-Ardenne region, where some 37 percent of total housing starts were accounted for by social housing.

MSI believe that the structure of the French house building industry is very fragmented in the various segments of the market although the apartment segment is characterised by the presence of a small number of large companies operating in various industries in France and worldwide.

In France, house builders are subject to a number of regulations, which affect both the public and private sectors. In addition, house builders have to be aware of the different specification procedures due to the fact that decision makers are not the same in the two sectors.
