Sanitary Ware Market – Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2018-2025

Sanitary ware refers to toilet sinks, wash basins, cisterns, and pedestals. These products were traditionally manufactured using porcelain, which is a ceramic material. However, sanitary wares are now manufactured using metals, glass, plastics, and other materials. The ceramic sanitary wares are cost-effective, have excellent resistance to chemical attacks, and can withstand heavy loads.

The role of sanitary wares in the household has evolved from being a necessity to a status statement. Thus, the status statement of sanitary wares has affected the personal expenditure structure of the individual and increased the proportion of spending on these amenities. This is attributed to the change in the lifestyle of people, due to the growth in per capita income. Moreover, growth in the requirement of personal space and privacy among people is reflected with the noticeable movement from joint to nuclear families and from single-dwelling units to flats. This has fueled the need of having attached bathroom spaces, thereby increasing the demand for sanitary wares.
