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 unexpectedly rose 0.3% month-on-month in September 2025, surpassing market expectations of no change and accelerating from an upwardly revised 0.2% growth in August. The modest recovery was mainly supported by rebounds in energy spending (0.5% vs -0.1% in August) due to a sharp acceleration in gas consumption and a strong rebound in super unleaded petrol consumption; and food products (0.2% vs -0.1%), driven by higher spending on bakery, pastry, and other miscellaneous food items. Meanwhile, spending on manufactured goods moderated (0.3% vs 0.5%), with outlays on durable goods picking up, while spending on textiles and clothing slowed markedly. On an annual basis, household consumption fell 0.3% in September 2025.
