Cocaine: a booming market, developments and trends in France (2000-2022)

In the general context of a background of booming global cocaine production, this Théma report provides an assessment of the situation in France.

Based on all the data available to date, it assesses the developments observed over two decades, from the 2000s until 2022, covering three aspects:

  • the boom in cocaine markets across Europe and France
  • the spread of cocaine consumption – in the form of powder/hydrochloride salt or crack or base/free-base cocaine – and the diversification of users
  • the public health issues faced by the public authorities in the absence of medical treatment for addiction or substitution for cocaine

This overview also addresses the topic of the consumption of crack and freebase cocaine, the distribution of which has expanded, with increased visibility in Île-de-France (Paris region).
