Why you should invest in the French language?

French was the common international language for business and diplomacy and is an official language of the UNO, NATO, World Trade Organization and the International Olympic Committee. Spoken in 77 countries and the official language of 44 countries, including countries accounting for 20% of world trade in goods, it is one of the world’s most shared official languages, giving it a real scope.

Businesses worldwide are using French, from pharmaceuticals to all sorts of marketing disciplines and French has now overtaken the German language as the most important language for trade. France is also famous for its cultural disciplines, including fashion, cooking, architecture and art, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a creative niche that the French haven’t excelled in.


French is a major language of the internet. It is the 5th most popularly used language online. France has an internet penetration rate of 92.3% and is the world’s 7th largest e-commerce market, not forgetting the importance of the rest of the Francophone world. As people tend to read and consume in their own language, they will be more likely to buy your products if advertized in French.

France is the most visited country in the world. Steeped in Culture and History, France owns around 30 sites on Unesco’s World Heritage list and is 4th on the global ranking list. The French language is thus a real asset for tourist-centric companies. The geographical position of France, bordering 6 countries and 5 seas, makes it ideally suited for international trade and tourist accessibility.
