Reindustrialization remains an absolute priority for France. In October 2021, the Head of State launched the France 2030 plan to catch up with the country's industrial lag. However, the latest Industry Barometer, published on March 13, 2025, shows a slowdown: 89 factory openings and extensions in 2024, compared to 176 in 2022 and 189 in 2023. This slowdown varies by region: Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Nouvelle-Aquitaine record 32 and 24 openings respectively, while Nord-Pas-de-Calais and Grand Est have a negative balance.[^1]

In recent weeks, the industrial sector has caused a lot of ink to flow. Between reindustrialization, deindustrialization, creations, closures, recruitment, training, and many other subjects, articles have not been lacking. olome has communicated on these issues.

France has experienced several upheavals in its industrial history. If industrialization started late, in the 19th century, it took off considerably until the 1970s before suffering a serious halt from the 1980s. Economic crises, oil shock, and especially relocations have weakened French industry. However, despite these challenges, the sector has never completely disappeared.
