“Initiatives by the public sectors of developing nations are expected to drive the ceramic sanitary ware market.”
The global ceramic sanitary ware market size is projected to grow from USD 32.1 billion in 2020 to USD 44.6 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 6.8%. The increasing demand from developing nations drives the ceramic sanitary ware market. Historically, the awareness regarding personal hygiene was low in developing nations. Therefore, the ceramic sanitary ware market had limited growth and development. However, due to the multiple initiatives taken by the governments of developing countries, the awareness about hygiene and proper sanitation is increasing. According to the latest data by the WHO, 45% of the global population used the safely managed sanitation service in 2017. This number is expected to increase in the coming years due to the rising public awareness, professional marketing of sanitation to those lacking the access, and initiatives of the private sector in public sanitation.

The increasing industrialization in emerging markets, such as Brazil, China, and India, and increasing consumer awareness about hygiene and purchasing power are driving the demand for ceramic sanitary ware.

“Toilet sinks/Water closets is projected to account for the largest share of the overall ceramic sanitary ware market, in terms of value, between 2020 and 2025.”
Toilet sinks/Water closets are the basic ceramic sanitary ware. Most of the rural population in developing countries do not have access to this basic sanitation system, and hence a country like India is taking initiatives under its Swachh Bharat Abhiyan program to build public toilets in rural areas. This is the major factor for the growth of the ceramic sanitary ware market in India.
The toilet sinks/water closets segment is further classified into, one piece, two piece, EWC, wall hung closets, and others. The demand for one piece toilet sinks is very high due to its low cost and easy availability.

“Commercial is the larger application in the overall ceramic sanitary ware market in terms of value.”
The consumption of ceramic sanitary ware is very high in the commercial application. This is mainly due to the heavy use and frequent replacement of the ceramic sanitary ware in the commercial application. The commercial segment is further classified into hospitality, industrial, institutional & retail, and offices. Hospitality is the largest sub-segment of the commercial application. The increasing international tourism over the last ten years, coupled with the increasing number of luxurious hotels, resorts, and villas, is supporting the growth of the ceramic sanitary ware market in the hospitality sub-segment.
