Ideobain · 2026

Agoris analysis · updated May 2026

Key takeaways

• Idéobain is the trade show for the bathroom and wellbeing, one of the shows within the Mondial du Bâtiment, co-located with Batimat and Interclima at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles → exhibiting at Idéobain means targeting the bathroom sector within a major construction event, with a shared badge.
• 166 Idéobain exhibitors in 2024, of which 83 were newcomers, a +36% increase vs 2022 (source: Batiweb) → strong renewal dynamics in the exhibitor offering for this segment.
• No attendance figure specific to Idéobain: the organiser only publishes the overall attendance of the Mondial du Bâtiment (135,944 visitors in 2024, across all shows combined, source: Batiweb, Le Moniteur) → do not attribute this figure to Idéobain alone.
• Organised by RX France, on a biennial rhythm in even years, with the afisb (the bathroom industry trade body) as co-organiser.

How much it costs to exhibit

Exhibitor rates not published: quote on request from RX France. As Idéobain is organised by RX France within the Mondial du Bâtiment, the per-m² ranges are likely close to those of Batimat (€250-400/m² for space only in 2026, source: cimbat.com via the Batimat lead), to be confirmed by a direct Idéobain quote.

CSR policy & initiatives

Idéobain's CSR focuses on water and materials: water saving (a recurring Forum theme, "water savings, where do we stand?"), economy of materials and adaptation to ageing (accessibility, step-free showers) were all highlighted in 2024.

The show sets out its commitments on its dedicated page Our commitments, underpinned by RX's sustainability policy.

How the show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

Idéobain saw strong growth in its exhibitor offering in 2024 (166 exhibitors, +36% vs 2022, of which 83 were newcomers), a sign of renewed appeal for the bathroom segment within the Mondial du Bâtiment. The absence of attendance figures specific to the show limits how clearly the visitor dynamics can be read. One to watch for 2026: the impact of the "Mondial du Bâtiment" rebranding and of the new line-up (the arrival of Renodays) on Idéobain's visibility.
