After some research, I have found this site which approximately said

In France [...] classical edition have its constraints and can publish only between 500 and 1 000 new authors per year.

It's not an official number, but it could make a good start point.
In the same time, around 69 000 books are published each year in France (according to registration of copyright, here).

If we keep the same percentage, for 250 000 books published each year, between 1 800 and 3 600 are books from new authors.

I know they're is a lot of weaknesses in my calculation: the first number come from a marketing announcement and doesn't include self-publishing when the second one include them, so the true number is probably higher.
