The French publishing market has suffered a lot in recent years to reach a low level of €4.2 billion in 2019. The sector is characterized by the importance of regional groups created after the Liberation in 1945. There are few national daily newspapers, and these are all controlled by industry or media moguls (such as Dassault, Pinault, the group LVMH, Altice or Xavier Niel for instance).
This report provides comprehensive data sets in terms of market structure, evolution of shares and revenues, main publishing media groups’ ownership and specificities in the country. It also features a comparison with the top countries in Europe.
Data and analysis provided in the report include:
- Evolution of the share of advertising expenditures: publishing versus other media (TV, radio, OOH, online, cinema)
- Total net income of all big, medium and small groups in each country, including advertising, circulation, digital and print
