The baromètre reports France's total companion-animal count and species breakdowns. All figures below are verbatim from the source (French original).\n\n## Total companion animals\n- \"Depuis 1976, le nombre total d’animaux de compagnie en France a été multiplié par 2,5 pour atteindre 75 millions.\" (since 1976 the total number of companion animals in France has been multiplied by 2.5, reaching 75 million)\n\n## Ownership & species counts (baromètre FACCO-Odoxa 2024)\n- \"55% des Français ont un chien et/ou un chat\" (55% of French people have a dog and/or a cat)\n- \"9,9 M CHIENS\" (9.9 million dogs)\n- \"16,6 M CHATS\" (16.6 million cats)\n- \"29,8 M POISSONS\" (29.8 million fish)\n\nNote: FACCO is the French pet-food industry federation; its annual report / baromètre is the standard first-hand source for French companion-animal population figures. The baromètre moved to counting individuals (not households); fish (29.8M) and birds (cage birds + poultry) make up a large share of the 75M total, with cats (16.6M) the most numerous mammalian pet and dogs at 9.9M.\n\nSource: `pdf-raw/market-stats/fr_facco_ra_2024_2026-07-30.txt` — FACCO Rapport annuel 2024, pulled 2026-07-30.\n","sources":["fr-market-stats — France — FACCO 2024 annual report / baromètre: ~75M companion animals; dogs 9.9M / cats 16.6M (retrieved 2026-07-30)"],"source":{"authority":"fr-market-stats","title":"France — FACCO 2024 annual report / baromètre: ~75M companion animals; dogs 9.9M / cats 16.6M","url":"https://www.facco.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/RAPPORT-ACTIVITE-FACCO-2024.pdf","retrieved":"2026-07-30","ref":"","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"FACCO Rapport annuel 2024 (France pet-population & market report, first-hand)","verification_file":"pdf-raw/market-stats/fr_facco_ra_2024_2026-07-30.txt"},"source_document":"FACCO Rapport annuel 2024 (France pet-population & market report, first-hand)","source_file":"pdf-raw/market-stats/fr_facco_ra_2024_2026-07-30.txt","tokens_estimated":300,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
