Market Report I 2026-01-16 I 120 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
France Cybersecurity Market Analysis
The France cybersecurity market was valued at USD 9.10 billion in 2025 and estimated to grow from USD 10.11 billion in 2026 to reach USD 17.09 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 11.08% during the forecast period (2026-2031). Rapid regulatory expansion under NIS2, heavier public-sector funding, and a sharp rise in cloud migration are synchronizing to widen the addressable opportunity for vendors. Enterprises continue to consolidate security stacks, channeling spending toward integrated platforms that ease compliance and talent pressures. Managed security services are surging as buyers offset a persistent shortage of skilled practitioners, while AI-driven analytics are becoming standard in French security operations centers. Heightened Olympic-period cyber activity has permanently recalibrated domestic threat awareness, prompting long-term investment in threat-monitoring infrastructure across critical sectors such as healthcare, energy, and transportation.
France Cybersecurity Market Trends and Insights
Accelerated NIS2 adoption and French Government cyber funding
NIS2 widens the compliance net from 500 to roughly 15,000 French entities, tripling the number of regulated sectors and intensifying demand for governance, risk, and compliance tooling. France 2030 earmarked EUR 39 million (USD 42 million) for 17 cybersecurity projects, anchoring sovereign capability development. ANSSI's phased roll-out stresses enablement over sanction, spurring advisory services as firms race to close gaps. Government interest in acquiring Atos' cybersecurity assets for EUR 700 million (USD 748 million) further underlines the strategic value of domestic IP. Together these moves inject capital, enlarge the client base, and reinforce the France cybersecurity market as a continental compliance hub.
Ransomware surge on French critical infrastructure and healthcare
ANSSI logged 4,386 security incidents in 2024, up 15% year on year, with healthcare representing 10% of ransomware filings. Hospitals at Armentieres and Corbeil-Essonnes endured emergency shutdowns, driving urgency around endpoint detection and incident-response retainer services. Cultural landmarks such as the Louvre and Grand Palais also faced disruptions, proving no sector is immune. Spending is pivoting toward XDR platforms and crisis-management consulting, reinforcing the France cybersecurity market as a responsive services arena.
Acute cyber-talent shortage inflating SOC costs
Roughly 15,000 cybersecurity vacancies persist nationwide, despite an 89% workforce expansion since 2020. Salary inflation reaches EUR 90,000 (USD 96,300) for senior analysts, squeezing provider margins and stimulating automation. Thales responded with GenAI4SOC to improve case triage efficiency by 40%. Such initiatives temper, but do not erase, the talent gap that restrains the France cybersecurity market's ability to scale fully.

Segment Analysis
Solutions generated 52.10% of 2025 revenue, with unified threat-management suites and XDR gaining traction as enterprises rationalize tool sprawl. The managed-services slice is growing at 12.85% CAGR as clients contract out 24/7 monitoring to compensate for staffing gaps. Identity-and-access tools, especially privileged-access management, underpin Zero-Trust rollouts. Wallix, for example, leverages its ANSSI qualification to court regulated clients. Professional services complement software spend, delivering assessment and remediation projects tied to NIS2 milestones. Hardware appliances remain foundational but are increasingly bundled with AI-driven analytics, illustrating the convergence that defines the France cybersecurity market.
The integration trend is fostering hybrid consumption models in which buyers license core platforms and overlay retained services for incident response. This approach expands lifetime value for vendors while providing flexibility in tight budget cycles. As ransomware campaigns intensify, incident-response retainers are now a baseline requirement across BFSI and healthcare, pushing the France cybersecurity market size for services steadily upward.
Cloud deployments accounted for 59.78% of 2025 spending, reflecting widespread SaaS preference and rapid SME onboarding. The France cybersecurity market size attached to cloud solutions is forecast to rise at a 14.25% CAGR, outpacing the on-premise base as more critical workloads move to hybrid environments. SecNumCloud certification accelerates trust in domestic hosting, benefiting players such as OVHcloud and Outscale.
On-premise models persist in defense and heavily regulated utilities where data residency and latency demands outweigh elasticity. Yet even these sectors adopt cloud-based analytics to augment legacy controls. Multi-cloud orchestration platforms that normalize policy across providers are gaining lift, mitigating vendor lock-in risks for enterprises expanding beyond a single hyperscaler. As a result, the France cybersecurity market continues to blur traditional deployment lines, pivoting toward control-plane-centric architectures.
