In France, household consumption refers to household expenditure on goods only, providing a short-term information of household consumption behavior relevant for economic analysis. Household consumption expenditure on goods accounted in 2010 for nearly 95 percent of total effective consumption in current euros and accounted for 50 percent of household consumption expenditure on goods and services.

Latest Updates

Household consumption in France increased 0.4% month-on-month in October 2025, surpassing market expectations of a 0.2% rise and accelerating from 0.3% growth in September. It marked the strongest growth in household spending since June, mainly supported by faster rises in energy spending (1.4% vs 0.6% in September), driven by a sharp rise in gas and electricity consumption as October was the coldest in the past three years. Spending on food products also increased faster (0.4% vs 0.1%), supported by higher consumption of agricultural and agri-food products. Meanwhile, spending on manufactured goods was broadly stable after a 0.4% increase in September, with textiles and clothing falling slightly, other manufactured goods rising modestly, and durable goods stagnating. On an annual basis, household consumption climbed 0.4% in October 2025.
