French camper van market tops 90,000 units in 2025

In Brief

In 2025, over 90,000 motorhomes, campers and caravans were sold in France. Used sales rose 3.6%, new sales 8%. Average new camper price is around €75,000.

The French camper van market continues to grow. In 2025, more than 25,000 new and 67,000 used motorhomes, campers and caravans were sold, totaling over 90,000 units. Used sales increased by 3.6% (68,041 units), while new sales rose by 8% over the 2024–2025 season. The average price of a new camper is around €75,000.

Two-thirds of motorhome buyers are retirees, while vanlifers are mostly working professionals. Average annual mileage is 8,600 km. Experts attribute the popularity to demographic changes, the rise of slow tourism and remote work, and a reaction to overcrowded tourist destinations. The market is confirmed at the Perpignan show from 8 to 11 January 2026.
