"Construction is the sector that remains the most affected by insolvencies. While the home improvement activity has been boosted by the success of "Ma Prime Rénov'" (energy renovation), the fact remains that the explosion in the price of raw materials and the shortage of some of them are weakening the profession."
- Max Jammot, Head of the economic department at Ellipshere
Procedures still in decline over the last 12 months
In this context, which remains complicated, at the end of June 2021, over a sliding 12-month period, the general trend in insolvency proceedings remains downward: -29% of insolvencies (direct receiverships and liquidations), i.e. 28,164 judgments and -14% of safeguard procedures, i.e. 739 judgments.
29% fewer insolvencies (direct receiverships and liquidations), i.e. 28,164 judgments, and 14.7% fewer safeguard procedures, i.e. 739 judgments.
However, from April 2021 onwards, there will be a clear upturn in the number of judgments, since before this date the number of insolvencies at the end of March 2021 over a sliding 12-month period was still down by almost 43% (26,700) and the number of protective measures by 23.4% (713).
An increase in insolvencies affecting all sectors and all regions
Over the last 12 months to the end of June 2021, nothing seems to have changed: the three major metropolitan economic areas - Île-de-France, PACA and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes - remain the main sources of business insolvencies, accounting for nearly 49% of direct receiverships and liquidations, as well as 46% of safeguard measures.
54% of the direct receiverships and liquidations are recorded in the construction and public works sector and in services to businesses and individuals, and 41.5% for the safeguarding of assets.
For the latter, the increases were particularly significant in certain sectors such as Industrial Equipment (+80%), Food & Beverage (+66.7%) and Media & Leisure (+60%).
