Services value added as % of GDP NV.SRV.TOTL.ZS

Overview
France's services value added stood at 70.73% in 2025, a decline of +0.18% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 70.73% by 2025. France ranked 28th globally.
France’s services value added has risen steadily over the 66‑year series, moving from a trough of 47.01 in 1960 to a peak of 71.76 in 2022, before slipping slightly to 70.73 in 2025, which places the country 28th in the world rankings. The long‑term upward trajectory reflects the structural shift toward a post‑industrial economy, with services now accounting for a dominant share of gross domestic product. France’s 2025 figure is marginally below that of Belgium (70.60) and close to Curaçao’s 71.68, underscoring its position among advanced economies with mature service sectors. The modest post‑peak decline suggests that short‑term cyclical factors, such as global demand fluctuations or domestic labor market constraints, may be tempering growth. Continued digitalisation, investment in high‑value services and reforms to labour market rigidity could help re‑accelerate the upward trend and restore the pre‑2022 momentum.
