Recent trends include:

The French bathroom market has experienced significant growth since the end of the 1990’s with the emergence of the bathroom as a key area of investment within the home.
The growth of showers continues to impact on the bath sector with shower baths increasing in popularity, along with the trend of replacing the bath with a shower enclosure where space is an issue.
Wellness products (balnéo baths, hydrotherapy cabins) are increasingly popular, although they are largely considered as a luxury. The furniture sector has been particularly dynamic in recent years with a growing level of installations in both the new build and refurbishment sectors. Important improvements have been made in terms of both quality and design, with a significant shift towards contemporary styles in recent years.
