Sylius in France — April 2026: 216 Stores, Best Leader Ratio

216 Sylius Stores: The Platform for Custom E-commerce Projects

Sylius records 216 active stores in France in April 2026, representing 0.2% of the market. Sylius is an open-source PHP framework built on Symfony, designed for complex e-commerce projects requiring complete customization. Where WooCommerce is installed in hours, Sylius is configured over months by advanced technical teams.

Distribution by Traffic Segment: Disproportionately Large Leaders

With 146 Starter sites and 23 Leaders (more than 100,000 visits/month) for just 216 stores total, the leaders/total ratio reaches 10.6% — the best in the market, even surpassing Magento (8.9%). Sylius is exclusively chosen for ambitious projects.

B2B/B2C: Notable B2B Presence

Sylius displays 47 B2B stores (21.8% of its base), far exceeding the market average of 13.4%. Sylius projects often require complex B2B features — multiple customer account management, differentiated pricing catalogs, validation workflows — that only a custom solution can implement.

Sylius Sectors and Geography

Sylius is particularly present in the Sports & Leisure sector, as evidenced by its two most-visited stores in France: sport2000.fr and fcnantes.com. Geographically, Île-de-France concentrates 61 Sylius stores and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes 42 stores. Bourgogne-Franche-Comté displays the highest Sylius penetration rate in France (0.5%).

Marketplace Presence: High Rate for a Small Base

Sylius displays a marketplace presence rate of 12.8% (25 SIRENs out of 196) — the second-highest in the market after Magento (18.0%). The breakdown: 14 SIRENs on Amazon (7.1%), 11 on Cdiscount (5.6%), 4 on Leroy Merlin (2.0%), 3 on Boulanger (1.5%), and 4 on La Redoute (2.0%). No Sylius merchant is listed on Décathlon — not due to absence in the sports sector, but because the total base is so small that intersections with specialized marketplaces remain statistically very limited.
