Restaurants & hotels, as well as sanitary facilities in various settings such as sinks and showers, are increasingly focused on meeting the taste & preference of consumers while also adopting eco-friendlier and sustainable materials like clay. This trend has led to a rise in demand for sanitary ceramics and bathroom fittings, including toilet bowls, in a variety of locations such as factories, hospitals, educational institutes, public transportation stations, and other public locations. The hospitality industry, including hotels and resorts, as well as shopping malls, is experiencing a surge in demand for bathroom fixtures and table linen products to meet these evolving consumer preferences. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Increasing expenditure on bathroom remodelling is a key driving factor impacting the market share growth. The average amount spent on bathroom products has rapidly grown in both emerging and developed economies over the past five years. Among the overall expenditure on bathroom products, this equipment accounts for around 30%-40% of the costs incurred. The other macro-level factors driving the rising average expenditure on bathrooms in emerging countries are rapid urbanization, changing consumer lifestyles, and the recent developments in the field of interior decoration.
Thus, the increased spending on bathroom equipment for better ergonomics is expected to be one of the key drivers for the market. The trend of bathroom remodelling is expected to continue being popular during the forecast period.
The adoption of bio-toilets is a key driving factor impacting the market share growth. A bio-toilet can disintegrate and decompose human waste into water and biogas. The decomposition of the biowaste is carried out by the bacteria present in the bio-digestion tank. The adoption of bio-toilets is common in the emerging economies of Asia and Africa, where sanitation is poor. It is expected that homeowners will also adopt bio-toilets in the future due to the advantages of these toilets.
The adoption of bio-toilets will benefit homeowners by reducing toilet maintenance cost in terms of cleaning sewage tanks at regular intervals and the installation of pipelines for sewage lines. Thus, the trend of adopting bio-toilets is expected to be a key factor in aiding the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Crawling defects of ceramics will be a major challenge negatively impacting the market share growth during the forecast period. Ceramic sanitary ware products are glazed with vitreous substances to obtain a glossy finish. The vitreous substance is fused into the sanitary ware through firing. During this process, a portion of the sanitary ware's body might look like it was never glazed, or the thickness of the glaze might be uneven over the surface. This defect is called a crawling defect, and it is commonly found in ceramic sanitary ware products.
A crawling defect is caused because of various factors such as glazing the ware when it is hot, when the sanitary ware is moist, due to the presence of foreign materials (dust, oil, and grease) over the sanitary ware, and the poor quality of the glaze. Thus, the finishing of the sanitary ware is affected.
