According to the research report ""The France Guitar Market Overview, 2028,"" published by Bonafide Research, The Guitar market was valued at above USD 198 Million in 2022. The French guitar market is growing because of the rising interest in guitar music. The guitar has always been a popular instrument in France, and in recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in guitar music. This has led to a growing demand for guitars. Online learning has become increasingly popular in France, and this trend is also influencing the guitar market. Many people are learning to play guitar through online lessons, which is driving demand for guitars. Advancements in guitar technology, including digital effects, innovative pickups, and modeling amplifiers, are driving demand for new guitars and inspiring musicians to upgrade their equipment. In France, there has been a trend towards more boutique and custom-built guitars as French guitar players increasingly seek unique and personalized instruments. This has led to the emergence of a number of French luthiers who are producing high-quality guitars that are tailored to the specific needs and preferences of individual players. Another trend in France is the rise of acoustic guitar music, particularly in the folk and indie genres. This has led to an increased demand for high-quality acoustic guitars, both vintage and new, and a growing interest in fingerstyle and percussive guitar techniques.

Based on the report, the market is segmented into two types, acoustic guitar and electric guitar. The acoustic guitar is the only guitar that relies solely on the natural vibration of its wooden body to produce sound. The strings of an acoustic guitar are made of steel or nylon and are strung over the sound hole, which acts as a resonator, amplifying the sound. Acoustic guitars are often used in genres like folk, country, and singer-songwriter music. An electric guitar is a guitar that uses electronic pickups to convert the string vibrations into an electrical signal, which can then be amplified through a guitar amplifier or a sound system. Electric guitars have a solid body and thinner strings, which are often made of steel, and require an external amplifier or speaker to be heard at higher volumes. Electric guitars are commonly used in rock, blues, and jazz music.

In France, there is a thriving music scene with a wide range of guitar events taking place throughout the year, including the Festival International de la Guitare de Puteaux and the Paris Guitar Foundation Festival. This festival, held annually in Paris, features concerts and workshops by some of the world's most renowned classical guitarists.
