The French market
Laundry and textile rental market:
- about 500 hospital laundries from 500 kg to 25 tons a day
- 600 private laundries (hotels, restaurants, private hospital, industry etc)
- 500 laundries in associations for handicap workers. ESAT are medico-social associations. EA are business societies.
- 11 000 nursery homes.
- 7 textile rental groups (82% of the French market)
(Reference: French market about laundry and textile rental activities, study 2008).
Dry cleaning market:
Dry cleaning French market is worth about 751 million Euros :
- 64% for dry cleaning only
- 14% for coin-operated laundry
- 22% for washing garments (little laundries in town centre)
(Reference: French dry cleaning market Study 2008)
We count about 8500 companies but only 4900 dry cleaning companies (5500 shops) for an average turnover about 90 000 euros (2006).
11% of all Companies represent 56% of the global turnover, and 40% of the little owners represent only 17% of the global turnover. The difference between big and little dry cleaning operators is increasing every year.
After a governmental campaign to verify the compliance of the dry cleaning shops concerning European requirements, the results published at the end of December show that 68% of the shops are not strictly in compliance. 29% received a legal statement and are obliged to change their dry cleaning machine and add a ventilation system within a short delay or have to close the shop.
These reasons explain why JET EXPO will be a very important place to meet manufacturers and their distributors.
