Event overview
Europropre is Europe's reference trade fair for professional hygiene, cleaning and multi-services, bringing manufacturers, cleaning contractors, distributors and buyers from business, industry and the public sector together in Paris.
The 2027 edition runs 16-18 March in Pavillon 1 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, with exhibition stands, FEP-led conferences, the Innovation Trophies and the national finals of the French window-cleaning speed championship.
It is a working show for sourcing chemicals, equipment, digital tools and outsourced services, and for meeting the contractors and facility managers who buy them.
TL;DR
See working equipment and chemistry from 200+ suppliers in one hall, sit in on FEP-led technical sessions, and compare service contracts with contractors who run cleaning operations across France and Europe.
A biennial, trade-only audience of 15,900 with 37% international reach, concentrated in Pavillon 1, makes Europropre an efficient place to launch equipment, meet distributors and sign service partners.

Impact
Paris is the densest professional-cleaning market in continental Europe and the show sits inside the city's exhibition calendar, so a 15,900-visitor base is concentrated buying power rather than passing footfall. Buyers arrive from cleaning contractors, facility-management groups, hospitals, hotels and local authorities.
Audience quality
The 2025 figures point to a trade-only audience: 207 stands drawn by a base that is 37% international. Decision-makers come for equipment, chemicals, digital tools and outsourced service contracts, and the conference programme under the FEP gives technical buyers a reason to stay a full day.
Exhibitor outcomes
For a 9 sqm shell stand the maths is simple: a few serious contractor or facility-management conversations a day justify the cost. The 2025 visitor base and the biennial rhythm favour exhibitors who book early and pre-arrange meetings rather than relying on walk-ups.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Professional cleaning is being reshaped by chemical regulation, labour cost and the demand for measurable hygiene. Europropre is where French and European buyers compare equipment, dosing systems and outsourced service models in one hall, and where suppliers meet the contractors who actually run the buildings.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Chemistry regulation and dosing discipline
Tighter EU and French rules on biocides and labelling push buyers toward concentrated, closed-loop dosing systems that cut waste and operator exposure.
What it changes: Suppliers must show compliant documentation and cost per litre, not just headline price.
Robotics and traceability on the floor
Autonomous scrubbers and connected dispensers are moving from demo to tender, with clients asking for proof-of-clean data.
What it changes: Equipment makers who can show measurable outcomes win contracts against manual-only offers.
Labour pressure and service consolidation
Recruitment shortages and rising wage costs are driving contractors to consolidate and to buy productivity tools at shows like this.
What it changes: Service providers arrive as buyers of equipment and software, not only as exhibitors.
Europropre anchors the French cleaning calendar; the same buyers also travel to the European cleaning show in Amsterdam and to the Weyou Group's Paris trade events.
Spring 2027
Two European cleaning shows five weeks apart; plan one travel budget.
Circuit dates other than Europropre are indicative and should be confirmed with each organiser.
