France is one of the largest markets in the European ceramic industry. The French ceramic market is majorly driven by the thriving home-décor market of the country which employs ceramic products such as bricks and roof tiles, sanitaryware and tableware. The French ceramic market has been driven majorly by the developing renovation market in France. Additionally, the renovation activities have also been encouraged by a French legislation, where a reduction of Value Added Tax on building restoration is provided to the home owners.

The French ceramic market was the fourth largest in the European region in terms of production value in 2013. A higher demand of ceramic products especially bricks and floor tiles, sanitaryware and wall and floor tiles have been observed amongst French people as well as in the global landscape.
