Report Highlights
French consumer credit market has only seen steady growth in recent years.
This is because of sluggish French economic performance, high unemployment, a
resistance to borrowing, in particular through revolving credit. However, this
resistance appears to be waning.
The credit card market is underdeveloped in France. However, revolving credit
cards have grown in popularity over recent years. An increase in the demand
for consumer credit, coupled with the long-term familiarity that French
consumers have with pay later card products have combined to grow this market.
Aside from the cards market, there is a lack of innovation in the French
consumer credit market. With few new entrants to the market and the market
being controlled by a few big players that compete on price and distribution
networks, innovation is something that is overlooked.
