With a bigger exhibition area than in 2005, BATIMAT 2007 attracted more visitors and more major information providers, and reinforced its role as a catalyst for progress in the building sector.
Visitor numbers up slightly
The show attracted 447,738 visitors in total – never have BATIMAT’s exhibitors had such a vast trade audience.
Apart from the Paris region, the main French regions represented were Rhône-Alpes, the Loire, Northern France, Brittany and central France. There was a big increase in the number of attendees from Champagne and Lorraine thanks to the opening of the new TGV East.
The number of international visitors was up even more than the number of French visitors, going from 18% to 18.5% of the total. Again there was still a high turnout from countries outside Western Europe, such as Morocco, Tunisia, Russia and Brazil, with a massive rise in the number from Poland which was the guest of honour at BATIMAT.
The breakdown by activity sector is relatively similar to that of 2005, but with a slight increase in the number of contractors and dealers and a slight drop in the number of manufacturers (non-exhibitors), from around the world.

Le développement durable, enjeu majeur pour le bâtiment, exige de répondre à des fonctions spécifiques de maîtrise de l’énergie, de sécurité, d’accessibilité mais aussi de confort. Avec une nouvelle dénomination élargissant le champ d’activité au-delà des systèmes intégrés, cet espace réunit le développement durable et la représentation des grandes problématiques de l’environnement avec notamment la présence d’organismes majeurs tel que l’ADEME.
