Music & Video Record Retailing in France industry analysis

Music and video record retailers in France have come up against growing competition in recent years. Technological progress and digitalisation has boosted online sales of recorded audio and video media and driven the growth of streaming platforms for music, films and TV series. This and the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on bricks-and-mortar retailers has put pressure on physical music and video retailers. However, the growing popularity of vinyl records and a recovery from the pandemic-induced slump in sales has offered retailers some relief, driving revenue growth over the past five years. Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 5.4% through 2025, reaching €46.6 million. This includes an expected drop of 5.1% in 2025.

Trends and Insights

  • A preference for digital content drives people away from physical media. Consumers are moving onto online streaming services like Netflix for their viewing needs, driven by their vast libraries.
  • Streaming services soar as physical media sales wane. Even though although nostalgia sustains a niche market for vintage formats, Blu-ray, DVD and CD sales continue to drop as convenience and digital quality driving consumers’ purchasing decisions.
  • Falling demand for physical formats causes small companies to struggle. Larger electronics stores are outlasting smaller retailers by diversifying their product ranges, driving up market concentration.
