In November 2025, Statista announced the closure of its French-language platform. The company stated it was "consolidating [its] content into a single language – English" and noted that its "reliable French-language content is now available in English on the global statista.com platform" as part of an effort to "optimize quality and user experience." Statista added that French-language content would be archived, and French-speaking users were encouraged to use the global .com platform, supplemented by the Research AI tool that allows queries in French.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bienvenue sur Statista |url=https://www.statista.com/business/fr/bienvenue-sur-statista |website=Statista |language=fr |access-date=19 November 2025}}</ref>
