French E-Commerce
Online merchants in France took in EUR1 billion (USD 1.71 billion) during Q2 2008, according to the Association pour le commerce et les services en ligne (ACSEL) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
However, Q1 actually represents just a fraction of total French e-commerce—and less than one-quarter. Not only is Q4 the biggest of the year, but the ACSEL/PwC figure does not include online travel.
Another French trade group, the Fédération des entreprises de vente à distance (FEVAD), said that e-commerce sales in France will reach EUR 20.9 billion (USD 32.4 billion) this year. FEVAD includes both online travel and online B2B purchases.
The association projects e-commerce growth through 2010, when sales are expected to reach EUR 31.4 billion (USD 44.3 billion).
