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. Les Rencontres Internationales de la Guitare, held in the town of Gruissan on the Mediterranean coast, feature a wide range of guitar-based music, from classical and flamenco to rock and blues.
