Revisions
For May 2025, the monthly change in total business births (all types of businesses combined) has been revised upward by 0.3 points, due to updates in raw data and adjustments to the seasonal and working-day correction (SWDC) coefficients. It now stands at +0.8%, compared to +0.5% in the previous release.
For further information
* The contribution of a sector to the overall variation is the variation observed in this sector, weighted by the share of this sector in the total number of births.
The business births series is compiled using data from the Business Demography Information System (SIDE). This system is fed with data from Sirene and supplemented with information from the statistical register Sirus.
The concept of business birth presented by Insee is based on the definition established by Eurostat to ensure harmonization and comparability of european data. According to Eurostat, a business birth corresponds to the emergence of a new legal, market-oriented, and productive entity with no predecessor. This concept of business birth is based on the establishment of new production means.
Business birth statistics distinguish applications for registering individual businesses under the micro-entrepreneur status. The term “conventional sole proprietorships” refers to individual businesses excluding micro-entrepreneurs, while “conventional businesses” refers to all businesses excluding micro-entrepreneurs.
Sectoral trends are presented in descending order of their contribution to the overall change in business births.
Long-term data series are available at the bottom of the web version of this publication, and additional methodological information can be found under the “Documentation’ tab.
