Increase in business births in accommodation and food service activities over one month

In June 2021, the number of business births increased in accomodation and food service activities (+14.9%), in education, human health and social work activities (+10.8%) and in manufacturing activities (+9.4%). On the other hand, the number of business births decreased in transport and storage activities (–19.8%).

Sharp increase in business births over the three last months

The raw number of business births totted up during the last three months (April to June) increased sharply in comparison with the same months one year ago (+59.3%). This particularly strong increase is explained by the high number of busines births in the first quarter of 2021 but above all by the abnormally low number of business births in the first quarter of 2020 due to the first lockdown. Micro-entrepreneurs’ registrations went up sharply (+53.1%), as well as companies’s births (+83.9%) and conventionnal sole proprietorships’ births (+38.8%).

Business support activities was the sector that contributed the most to the overall rise (+18,600 business births, which comes to a contribution of +11.7 points)*. Within it, the strongest increase was in business and other management consultancy activities (+4,200 business births over the last three months in comparison with the same months one year ago).

Increase in business births over the twelve last months

The raw number of business births totted up during the last twelve months went up (+30.2%), notably due to the particulary low number of business births during the first lockdown in 2020. Micro-entrepreneurs' registrations increased more strongly (+34.4%) than companies’ births (+30.0%), and sole proprietorships’ births (+6.0%).

* 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.

For further information

The business births data are build from the Register of Enterprises and Establishments (REE), from Sirene register information. The definition of creation adopted by INSEE is based on the concept defined by EUROSTAT, to harmonize and compare European data.

The appearance of a legal operating unit with no predecessor is considered to be a newly created enterprise by Eurostat. This concept of creation relies on new production resources. The business start-up statistics include applications for start-ups as micro-entrepreneurs, starting from the data relating to January 2009. Since this date, sole proprietorships excluding self-managed micro-entrepreneurs are called conventional sole proprietorships and start-ups excluding self-managed micro-entrepreneurs are called conventional businesses.
