Upcoming Trade Shows Paris, France for Building & Construction

Paris Region, to the surprise of no one, rightly assumes the position as the unrivaled leader in the French building industry. Boasting a staggering annual turnover of over €140 billion in 2018, the construction sector in this dynamic region is projected to scale new heights despite a challenging few years. Nevertheless, the region and city are the power behind the national building and construction market. The Paris Region holds a 27.6% share of the national construction market. Furthermore, it emerges as the incubator for innovation, hosting 45% of the nation's innovative startups in the Smart Building industry. It's also worth pointing out that the region is now building sustainably for a greener tomorrow. In the face of escalating environmental concerns, the building sector becomes a focal point for change. Cities, responsible for over 70% of greenhouse gas emissions, and buildings, consuming 44% of all energy, are under scrutiny. Aligning with France's Energy Transition Law of 2015, ambitious targets aim to reduce energy consumption in buildings by 28% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The construction of low-consumption buildings, mandated since 2012, sets the stage for a future where energy-plus homes will be the norm by 2021. The Paris Region houses a vibrant ecosystem as it brings together construction majors, IT giants, energy specialists and developers at the forefront of industry transformation. A study by CBRE, a global real estate consulting leader, reveals that 46% of companies renting offices in the region are willing to invest at least 10% more in rent for smarter buildings. This shift prompts industry players to rethink construction site efficiency altogether. Connected technologies have a lot to offer the market, which has been reliant on traditional materials and construction methods. Mainly these would be affordability, efficiency and sustainability, shaping a future that benefits all.
