Ceramics is an eco-friendly material that can be recycled, reused, and reduced to protect the environment. Further, the increasing construction/property industry volume is expected to increase the sale of sanitary ware products globally.

Both renovation and new construction contribute to the growing demand for these products. Developing economies worldwide have increased their investments to build high-quality sanitation facilities and deployed different, improved sanitary ware products at these facilities. Historically, sanitary ware products have been produced using ceramics as a raw material. However, in more recent years, other raw materials such as glass, and plastics have been used to manufacture sanitary ware products. Some of the commonly-used sanitary ware products include pedestals, toilet sinks, cisterns, and washbasins. Sanitary ware products have features such as superb resistance to chemical attacks and an ability to withstand huge loads.

According to the research report “Global Sanitary Ware Market Overview, 2023-28” published by Bonafide Research, the market was valued at USD 43.61 Billion in 2022 and it is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 9.43% from 2023 to 2028. Innovations to existing products are expected to fuel product demand and propel the sanitary ware market, in the coming years. Government initiatives and measures to improve the sanitary infrastructure are anticipated to bolster the sanitary ware demand, in the years ahead. Other factors such as rapid urbanization, increasing consumer preference for branded products, and a growing need to maintain a healthy lifestyle are expected to fuel the demand for sanitary ware products, in the future. The toilet sink is projected to make the largest contribution to the overall sanitary ware market owing to the increasing hygiene awareness in leading economies, globally. Ceramic sanitary ware products are anticipated to contribute the most to the overall market due to rising investments in commercial spaces such as airports and hospitals, which are expected to deploy different sanitary ware products in various parts of the facility.

Factors such as the growth of the construction industry and the rise in infrastructure projects are the primary factors fuelling the growth of the market. Also, increased preference for ceramic sanitary ware is another factor fuelling the industry's growth. However, stringent regulations pertaining to sanitary ware product manufacturing are majorly affecting the market demand. In addition, the volatility in the prices of raw materials required to make these products are also hampering the growth of the sanitary ware market. On the bright side, opportunities for manufacturers to expand their business on online platforms, along with infrastructural development in emerging economies, are offering various growth avenues to the market.

Asia-Pacific region is dominating the market in 2022 with more than 50% market share which is anticipated to remain the leader during the forecast period. This region is characterized by extensive infrastructure development and is experiencing a burgeoning population. Governments across the region are focusing on infrastructure investment, large-scale affordable housing schemes, and expanding tourism. Increased spending on public infrastructure is expected to stimulate economic growth in the region. The market for ceramic sanitary ware is in high demand in India, China, the United States, and Europe. In addition, increased consumption of sanitary ware products has resulted in a decrease in the cost of production. Further, a growing global middle class and a rise in disposable incomes are driving the growth of the ceramic sanitary ware industry. Several non-government organizations (NGOs) with the help of the World Health Organization (WHO) are running campaigns and building toilets in several rural and under-developed areas in developing countries to offer people safe sanitation, which in turn, is fuelling the market.

Several leading ceramic sanitary ware companies are looking to acquire other companies to expand into new regions. These acquisitions allow them to increase their production capacity while minimizing the cost of setting up sanitary ware distribution units in new areas. However, the demand for sanitary ware in emerging regions is likely to remain low until the market has developed a more favorable economic environment. The demand for sanitary wares will continue to rise as a result of these factors.
