Several government initiatives and improvement programs to develop and upgrade the sanitary ware infrastructure are acting as a major factor that is creating an opportunity for the growth of the market. A diverse range of adverse effects on the environment due to mineral extraction is acting as a major factor, which is posing a challenge to the growth of the Asia-Pacific market. The market for bathroom fittings in Asia-Pacific seems unorganized. Industry leaders in the organized segment are progressively scaling their production capacities, upgrading their manufacturing processes, and focusing on innovative technologies to produce ergonomically convenient designs to keep up with the changing tastes of consumers. Furthermore, factors contributing to this growth include rising disposable income, housing space constraints, and rising levels of lifestyle. Due to modernization and urbanization, the demand for bath fittings is increasing in the country with a progressive CAGR over the forecast period. According to the research report, "Asia-Pacific Bathroom Fittings Market Research Report, 2028," published by Actual Market Research, the overall market is anticipated to reach a size of more than USD 35 Billion during the forecast period, which has grown at a 6.30% CAGR during the historic time period. Growing manufacturing centers in the Asia-Pacific region are creating significant opportunities for the market. Further, there is also a growing commitment to research, design, production, and support among equipment manufacturers in this region due to government initiatives for maintaining cleanliness. Moreover, the improved lifestyle of people has led the Asia-Pacific region to have a major share of the market with respect to the other regions. The market is set to display impressive growth during the forecast period, with some key trends emerging, such as the adoption of smart bathrooms due to an increase in trends for smart homes driven by continuously evolving end-user expectations. Increased hygiene awareness and rising disposable income are also expected to create opportunities for market participants during the forecast period. The increase in the number of houses is leading to an increase in newer plumbing fixtures. This is the major factor estimated to drive the growth of the Asia-Pacific bathroom accessories industry. The Asia-Pacific bathroom accessories market suffered a downfall during the COVID-19 crisis as most of the economic activities were halted during Q1 and Q2 of 2020. Geographically, the Asia-Pacific bathroom fittings market is segmented into China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and the rest of the Asia-Pacific, such as ASEAN countries. Among them, China and Japan occupy more than 52 percent of the market share owing to increasing advancements by major market players in bathroom fitting products. Further, according to the report, the Asia-Pacific market is segmented into two end users, including residential and commercial. The Asia Pacific Bath Fitting Market is growing rapidly owing to the development in the residential construction sector and renovations. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on many businesses in Asia Pacific countries, including the bathroom fittings industry. Categories like sanitary ware and bathroom fixtures are largely classified as discretionary spending and have witnessed a deferment of demand due to an expected decline in renovation and refurbishment activity in the near term due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Based on these factors, the residential segment leads the market with more than 60% market share in 2022. The Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. An increase in urbanization across the globe is expected to increase the demand for bathroom products in the coming years. Large opportunities are expected to arise in Asian countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines which are becoming increasingly popular for export-oriented manufacturing. For instance, according to the World Bank, the urban population in South Asia is expected to grow by 250 Million by 2030. Modern infrastructure facilities require products such as bathroom basins, bathroom vanities, or cabins, among others, to be installed in commercial and residential buildings during construction. An increase in urbanization increases the construction of buildings for residential or commercial purposes, which, in turn, drives the market for bathroom products. On the other hand, the increasing number of restaurants, railway stations, and shopping malls needs modernized kitchen and bathroom faucets. However, people's rising standard of living and disposable income favor aesthetic appeal in kitchens. Moreover, consumers' changing preferences are key drivers of growth in the Faucet market. Key countries such as China and India have cheap labor resources, which in turn reduces the cost of labor and raw materials too. Hundreds of crores have been invested in a faucet manufacturing plant that can produce lakhs of faucets per day. Because of this, Asia-Pacific has become the world's largest faucet manufacturing region. Adding to this, China is a promising area to be the quickest-creating consumption area within the next few years. The increase in awareness with respect to health hygiene, water conservation, and energy conservation among customers is anticipated to drive the development of the Asia-Pacific smart bathroom industry during the forecast period. In the coming years, the growing use of automatic hand dryers and touch-free soap dispensers will contribute to an increase in demand for the smart bathroom market. Besides, the expansion in the utilization of touchless faucets in non-residential structures is anticipated to drive demand for the Asia-Pacific smart bathroom market.
