The electronics industry is integral to various industrial sectors in France, offering intelligence, autonomy, connectivity, and enhanced performance. The sector includes a diverse range of players such as component manufacturers, producers of test and measurement equipment, design office subcontractors, product manufacturers, distributors, and developers of systems and embedded software. As of 2019, the French electronics manufacturing sector employed 70,020 people across 1,033 companies, generating a turnover of 15 billion euros and contributing 4.6 billion euros in added value. The workforce distribution is quite varied, with 48% employed by component manufacturers, 37% in Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS), 10% in equipment, tests, measurements, and consumables, 3% by distributors, and 2% in design offices. France remains a significant player in the global electronics manufacturing industry. However, it still lags behind its competitors in Asia and North America.
