This counts identifiers present in our index. The index grows both when companies register and when our own discovery passes resolve identifiers that were already registered, so a step is not the same thing as a joiner count.

The obligation
Is e-invoicing mandatory in France?
France has a live national e-invoicing obligation. What it requires, when each phase starts, and whether it mandates the Peppol network or only a format — with a link to the official government source behind every date — is on the France mandate page.
Who carries it
Peppol providers serving France
115 operators publish participants we can attribute to France. Ranked by the participants each one actually serves there — not by marketing reach, and not by where the company is registered. A Peppol access point in France need not be based in France: the table counts where participants are, so an operator from abroad appears wherever it serves customers.

107 further operators serve smaller numbers in France. The full provider directory ranks all of them.
The counts above are participants we can ATTRIBUTE to an operator from SMP publication, and they add up to 6,370,879. That is 95.4% of the 6,677,222 identifiers we index for France; the rest is published by operators we cannot yet resolve to a company, or carries no country we can read from the identifier alone. Shares in the table are of the attributed total, so they are shares of what is measured, not estimates of the whole market.

FAQ
Peppol in France: common questions
How many companies use Peppol in France?
We index 6,677,222 Peppol participant identifiers registered in France, which is 63.3% of the whole network and puts the country at rank #1 of 121 indexed markets. That counts identifiers, not organisations: one company can hold several, for instance a VAT number and a company registration number. The count is rebuilt from the Peppol directory and every SMP we can resolve, and it moves both when companies register and when our own discovery passes resolve identifiers that were already there.
Which Peppol access points serve France?
115 providers have participants in France that we can attribute to them. The largest is Serensia, with 1,111,794 attributed participants (17.5% of the attributed total), followed by Pennylane and IOPOLE. The table above lists the rest in order. Attribution is measured from SMP publication, not from what an operator claims, so a provider appears here only where we can actually see its participants.
Is e-invoicing mandatory in France?
Yes — France has a live national e-invoicing obligation. The dates, the scope and the question that actually matters (whether the law requires the Peppol network or merely permits it) are on our France mandate page, each with a link to the official government source. This page is monitoring and market data, not legal advice.
