EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

MSI estimate that the French market for homes for elderly people and domiciliary care reached a value of FF59.94 billion (ECU9.05 billion) in 1997. The accommodation sector is believed to account for 66 percent of the total market whereas the medical care sector has an estimated share of 34 percent.

In 1997 the number of homes for elderly people reached 9829 sites whilst the number of places reached 571 800. The average number of places per home decreased from some 62.7 in 1993 to 58.2 places in 1997.

The market is segmented into three operators, namely the public sector, the private non-profit making sector and private profit making sector. MSI believe that the public sector accounted for 57 percent of the total number of places in homes for elderly people in 1997 while the private profit making sector is becoming increasingly important. Indeed, the share of this sector increased from 12 percent in 1993 to 14 percent in 1997 due to a 25 percent increase in the number of beds during the review period.

Trade sources estimate that the number of places in nursing units represented 24 percent of the total number of places in homes for elderly people in France.

Domiciliary care suppliers reported a significant increase in popularity due to an increasing demand from patients to stay in their own homes for as long as possible.

A number of factors affected demand for homes and places for elderly people during the review period. Indeed, the ageing of the population combined with the increasing level of dependency of elderly people entering a home led to a rise in the number of places and to demand for more homes providing medical care. In addition, the government's reform of healthcare funding for homes for elderly people is of major importance for both public and private operators.

MSI forecast that the French market for homes for elderly people will continue to grow throughout the whole of the forecast period, whereby the medical care sector is expected to increase at a faster pace than the accommodation sector.

The trend towards smaller homes is expected to continue throughout the forecast period which is evident due to the fact that the number of homes for the elderly in France is expected to increase more significantly then the number of places in these homes between 1998 and 2002.

Homes for elderly people and domiciliary care organisations can either be run by public or private operators, profit or non-profit making. The structure of the industry differs from one sector to another due to different legislation and resources. However, there are many companies or organisations involved in operating homes for elderly people with only a limited number of large operators.
