· 6 min read
Reindustrialization remains an absolute priority for France. In October 2021, the Head of State launched the France 2030 plan to catch up with the country's industrial lag. However, the latest Industry Barometer, published on March 13, 2025, shows a slowdown: 89 factory openings and expansions in 2024, compared to 176 in 2022 and 189 in 2023. This slowdown varies by region: Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Nouvelle-Aquitaine recorded 32 and 24 openings respectively, while Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Grand Est have a negative balance.[^1]
