Development History

Stage One (before 2000)

Before 2000, international brands such as American Standard, Kohler, and TOTO entered China and focused on coastal open cities, targeting high-end hotels, office buildings, and residences. Local brands were concentrated in less developed regions, and the two camps rarely confronted each other directly. Domestic brands had not yet recognized the approaching challenge, while foreign brands enjoyed their most profitable golden period.

Stage Two (2000-2005)

From 2000 to 2005, foreign brands expanded into inland first-tier and second-tier markets in China and again targeted the mid-to-high-end bathroom market, gradually approaching the markets served by domestic enterprises. During this period, foreign brands still held more than 80% of the mid-to-high-end market, while the low-end market was shared by around 3,000 domestic enterprises, and no nationwide domestic bathroom brand had yet emerged.

Stage Three (2005 to present)

After 2005, foreign brands continued to expand in China, broadened their production lines, and covered high-end, mid-range, and low-end markets, increasingly touching the core interests of domestic brands. At the same time, domestic bathroom brands also accelerated their development, and a group of well-known national brands emerged. The bathroom industry entered a rapid growth stage, and competition between foreign and local camps intensified.
China has now become the world's largest producer and seller of sanitary ware. Sanitary ware output and sales account for about 30% of the global total, and bathroom accessories account for about 35%. Statistics show that from 2007 to 2010, China's average annual export value of sanitary ware reached USD 1.686 billion. In recent years, export growth has slowed under the impact of the financial crisis, while the domestic market has expanded.
With rapid economic growth, faster urbanization, and higher disposable income, China's bathroom market size expanded quickly from RMB 85 billion in 2013 to RMB 108 billion in 2014, and reached RMB 169 billion in 2017. The penetration rate of ceramic bathroom products also rose steadily, which further stimulated related product sales.

Industry Features

• 
  

• Per-capita output value: about 300,000 yuan.

• 
  

• Production cycle: 30 to 45 days.

• 
  

• Regional distribution: the main bathroom production areas in China are Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong. After decades of development, these three regions have become the core production bases of China's bathroom industry, with Guangdong mainly concentrated in Kaiping, Foshan, Zhongshan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chaozhou, and Dongguan.

• 
  

• Digitalization status: cultivating integrated thinking is crucial. The ability to collect, integrate, and analyze data is still relatively weak in the bathroom industry, especially in product design. Designers often study the overall market, but bathroom product design still frequently follows existing concepts instead of starting from real consumer needs. Bathroom enterprises also face major marketing opportunities, because stores generate large amounts of customer data every day. If enterprises record and analyze these data in detail, they can better understand consumer demand.
