About this report
 
About the market…
 
This report is essentially three reports in one as it covers three distinct markets, namely, book, music and video retailing. The three product categories are often grouped together under the heading of “cultural goods” and while the three sectors have enjoyed varying degrees of success over the last five years, the products share certain similarities that justify our decision to include them in one report title.
 
 
Spending on books, music and video products in France amounted to €6,624 million including sales tax in 2003. Within this total, spending on books represent the greatest share, making up just under half of the market’s value at €3,181 million.
