Étude sur l'industrie du jeu vidéo en France: Tissu économique et compétitivité

A 2021 study by the French Ministry of Economy's DGE, prepared by the consultancy PwC France from information available as of 6 October 2020, examines the French video game industry: its economic fabric, training, innovation and business models, financing, and international competitiveness.

• The core French industry counted 575 active companies in 2018, with 86% of them development studios.
• Studio revenue grew 117% between 2010 and 2018, reaching about 830 million euros, while publisher revenue grew 56% to about 3.1 billion euros.
• Ninety percent of the studios surveyed used external financing for at least one production, and only 10% fully self-financed their games.
