During the crisis affecting the entire world economy, also the French market declined after having grown interruptedly since 2003. However, the contraction in the French market was less severe than the European average and, even at a national level, the furniture industry managed to limit its losses in comparison to other sectors strongly correlated to the furniture, such as automotive or construction.
