Introduction
With the acceleration of the construction industrialization process and the deepening of consumption upgrading trends, integrated bathrooms, as a representative product of modern bathroom space solutions, are gradually becoming an important development direction of the global bathroom industry. This report conducts systematic research on the overall sanitary ware industry from multiple dimensions such as technical characteristics, market status, industrial chain structure, development challenges and future trends.
The concept and development status of integrated bathroom
1. Core definition
Unit Bathroom refers to an integrated bathroom space system prefabricated using industrial production methods, including waterproof chassis, wall panels, ceilings and supporting bathroom facilities, which can be delivered quickly through standardized design, modular production and prefabricated installation. Its core features include:
Space integration: Integrate three major functions: shower, toilet and washing
Material innovation: new building materials such as SMC composite materials, ceramic tile coatings, etc.
Process upgrade: dry construction replaces traditional wet operations
2. Development history
1960s: Japan TOTO pioneered the integrated sanitary ware technology to solve traditional construction leakage problems
1990s: China introduces the concept of sanitary ware, which is mainly used in public construction projects such as hotels and hospitals.
2016Since the present: The rapid development period was driven by policies, with the penetration rate of the residential market exceeding 2%.
3. Market size
According to data from the China Building Decoration Association, my country's overall sanitary ware market size reached 6.5 billion yuan in 2022, with an annual compound growth rate of more than 18%. in:
The residential sector accounts for 41% (mainly affordable housing/long-term rental apartment)
Hotels/hospitals account for 35%
Other public construction projects account for 24%
Technology and industry chain analysis
1. Core technology system
| Technical module | Representative process |
| Main structure | SMC molding, honeycomb aluminum plate composite technology |
| Waterproof system | overall waterproof chassis, water guide tank, three-dimensional drainage |
| Pipeline integration | same-layer drainage system, pre-embedded pipeline wells |
| Intelligent upgrade | Constant temperature control, antibacterial coating, humidity sensing |
2. Industrial chain structure
Upstream: SMC resin suppliers (such as Huari New Materials), ceramic companies
Middle Tour: Full bathroom manufacturer (Runfa Residential Technology)
Downstream: real estate developers, decoration companies, end consumers
3. Cost structure comparison
The cost of a single set of traditional bathrooms is about 8,000 yuan (including manual labor), and the overall bathroom costs about 5,000-15,000 yuan, but it can save:
Construction cycle: shortened from 7 days to 4 hours
Maintenance cost: Water leakage maintenance rate drops by 90%
Space utilization: Increased by 15%-20%
