Batibouw draws nearly 200,000 visitors, plans expansion in 2027
The 2026 edition of Batibouw attracted 198,012 visitors to Brussels Expo, slightly down from 203,685 last year. Organisers described the turnout as a success and already have plans to expand next year.
Batibouw 2026 was the 67th edition of Belgium's largest annual trade fair for construction, renovation, and interior design. This year's edition was a success, organisers said on Sunday. All five halls of Brussels Expo were fully occupied, hosting more than 300 exhibitors spread across approximately 40,000 square metres.
According to the organisers, several companies were unable to secure a spot due to limited space. Major brands including Velux, Harol and Novy returned this year. Surveys among exhibitors indicate that most visitors attended with concrete renovation plans.
In response to demand, the fair will expand in 2027. The 68th edition, scheduled from 12 to 21 February 2027, will span six halls. It will open on Friday with a day reserved exclusively for professional visitors.
