Smart Toilets to Dominate the Smart Bathroom Market During the Forecast Period
The rising prominence of
multifunctionality bathroom fixtures, growing penetration of smart homes in
developing and developed countries across the globe are driving the global smart
bathroom market during the forecast period.
According to TechSci Research report, “Smart Bathroom Market–Global
Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2018-2028F,”
the global smart bathroom market
is expected to grow at a higher pace during the forecast period. The need for
convenient and smart devices is being driven by the Internet of Things' (IoT)
continuous advancement. Due to changing lifestyles, consumption patterns, and
preferences, people today demand smart bathrooms with automation,
including touchless systems in bathrooms and smart technology in living
areas, and bathrooms. Additionally, as the living standard of people is rising,
people prefer smart bathroom amenities like smart toilets and showers, which
has increased demand for smart bathrooms in both developing countries.
Another effect of growing environmental
awareness is the use of energy-efficient or sustainable bathroom equipment with
high functionality and insulation, such as smart faucets, taps, showers, and
smart lights, which aid in water conservation and minimize carbon footprint.
All these factors are anticipated to increase demand for smart bathrooms
throughout the forecast period. For instance, in January 2020, Kohler Co.
introduced its most advanced toilet, i.e., Kohler Numi Intelligent Toilet. It
has a sleek design, interactive LCD touch-screen interface, built-in personal
bidet functionality, and a deodorizer. Also, it is equipped with innovative
dual-flush technology with 0.6 and 1.28 gallons per flush, an intuitive
auto-open and -close lid, and a heated seat and foot warmer.
Moreover, growing concerns regarding
water wastage also drive the demand for smart and digital plumbing fixtures.
These fixtures help minimize water wastage and offer high efficacy in terms of
performance. Market players have been incorporating unique features such as
remote control, digital control, and interface, multi-stage battery level
display, and auto flush to make bathroom fixtures more attractive for
consumers. Such technological advancements enable numerous benefits, such as
enhanced hygiene, water efficiency, and energy savings.
From composting to low flush to dual
flush, several market players are developing smart toilets with water-saving
technologies owing to the rise in demand for these products and rising
awareness among consumers about the importance of saving water to cope with its
scarcity and ensure sustainability. Some of the most widely adopted smart
toilets with water-saving technology are TOTO Ultramax II, Kohler Highline Arc
Comfort Height, TOTO Drake II, and America Standard H2Option Dual Flush. Smart
toilets allow only 1.28 GPF (Gallons Per Flush) or less, whereas traditional
toilets allow 1.6–3.5 GPF of water. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
certifies WaterSenseto the toilets to consume 1.28 GPF or less. This
certification helps consumers select water-efficient products that are
beneficial for the environment and help reduce overall expenses.
