The French government actively supports the faucet market through various schemes and initiatives aimed at increasing sustainability and energy efficiency. The Grenelle Environment Forum is a vast environmental policy undertaking that helps diffuse environmentally friendly technologies and water-saving solutions, therefore influencing faucet manufacturers to innovate in line with such goals. The Eco-PTZ Eco-Interest-Free Loan offers financial incentives to home and business owners to invest in energy-efficient and water-saving fixtures, advanced faucet systems included.

Faucets on the commercial side are trending touchless in a bid to drive demand lower and cut down on the potential spread of germs in high-traffic areas.

The French faucet market is diverse, meaning that consumers have a wide range of products to choose from depending on applications and individual tastes. Especially in most French kitchens, pull-out and pull-down faucets have gained high popularity as a result of their functionality and convenience. The pull-out faucets are equipped with extendable spray heads ideal for cleaning and food preparation. Grohe, Hansgrohe, and Jacob Delafon are some of the firms that have models with dual spray settings and a special type of surface that is easy to clean. Pull-down faucets that are high arch with a retractable spray head would be best for filling large pots and cleaning sink areas. Single control faucets are very widely used in France for kitchens and bathrooms the user can control temperature and volume of water with one hand. Grohe, Hansgrohe, and Leborgne lead the way with large selections of single-handle faucets in different designs and finishes, including a good number of bathroom models with a low-flow aerator and some kitchen models with a side spray. Two handle faucets are another common style installed in both French bathrooms and kitchens. With each handle is a single function that can provide hot or cold water, any combination of temperature can be dialed in. The faucet family has dual handle styles in classic and contemporary.

Pull-down spray faucets come separately, with an allowance for flexibility in both the hose and the trigger-operated hand spray for rinsing and cleaning. Brands include Grohe and Hansgrohe, maintaining a coordinated look between main faucet and separate sprayer. Pot-filler faucets are making their way into more French kitchens because they have a high-end, professional look. Part of what makes them seem more professional is their use of articulating arms. They are outfitted with wall-or counter-mounting options, with the purpose that they can reach over the cooktop, so pots can be filled directly from that cooktop, rather than across the kitchen from that other standard faucet. The Grohe and Hansgrohe brands are manufacturers of these pot filler faucets in different finishes. Motion detection faucets, known to many as touchless faucets, have become one of the recent marvels generating much popularity within France. This is attributed to the increase in awareness of hygiene in combination with newly developed advanced technologies. Due to the infrared sensors that detect hand movements, the water flows automatically from these types of faucets. Features such as water conservation and improvement of hygiene are conveyed by brands like Grohe, Hansgrohe, and Delabie through their range of motion detection faucets targeting residential and commercial applications.
