So, what is the meaning of building materials to the countryside for bathroom manufacturers? What problems do construction materials need to solve in the countryside? How to activate rural consumption power? In 2011, the environment continued to be abominable, and the entire household building materials industry was sinking in channels. As a sanitary industry, going to the countryside is undoubtedly the best route. This also represents the rise of the rural bathroom market and the brand new competition in the bathroom brand rural market. .

Event 7: The new national standard of Jiantao Sanitary Ware Industry was implemented this year. The new national standards for the sanitary ware sanitary ware industry began to be implemented. The new standard clearly stipulates the average water consumption of water-saving urinals: the average water consumption of urinals does not exceed 3 liters. The average water consumption for toilets does not exceed 6 liters, and the average water consumption for squat toilets does not exceed 8 liters. Products that do not meet these mandatory standards will not be allowed to be sold. Therefore, the competition focus of the sanitary ware industry converges on the competition of water-saving performance. The data shows that toilet water accounts for 40% of the general household water consumption. The water-saving products of the brand sanitary ware emerge in endlessly, and the most prominent is the toilet. At present, the standard of 3-6 liters of water-saving toilets enforced by our country has long been exceeded.

In this new national standard, water-saving sanitary ware is listed as a separate project, which is not surprising to those in the industry. From the year 2000 onwards, relevant national departments have also successively introduced the national mandatory standards for "6 litre water closet system", the "Water-saving domestic water appliances" standard, the "sanitary sanitary fittings production fixed-point management measures", and the "water-saving products".

However, under the stimulation of market demand, the overcapacity of many sanitary ware companies is very serious. According to industry analysis data, the production capacity of sanitary ware in the country is now nearly 100 million pieces, but the market demand is probably about 70 million to 80 million, and there are probably 20% to 30% of excess capacity.

Some media have roughly calculated the supply and demand of the sanitary ware industry: From January 2000 to September 2010, nearly a total of 70 million new urban housing units have been built in China, and farmers have built more than 90 million new housing units each year. From this, it is estimated that China will build about 7 million new urban housing units each year, and farmers will build 9 million households each year. If urban housing is built with 2 toilets per set, and farmers build houses based on 2 toilets for each household (in fact, less than 50% use flush ceramic toilets), China's annual market demand for toilets should be 32 million. From the perspective of the investigation of various industrial bases, the capacity of Chinese ceramic flush toilets has exceeded 120 million each year. The actual output is over 65 million and exports are about 30 million. If domestic sales are calculated at 32 million, Chinese manufacturers will annually The inventory of 3 million, the industry's excess capacity will reach 60 million.

Event 9: After the intelligent water-saving sanitary wares detonated the market until the implementation of the new national standard, water conservation has become the consensus of the entire sanitary industry. Many sanitary ware products are under the banner of “environmental protection and energy conservation”. It is understood that this year, some fashionable energy-saving sanitary wares have had a great impact on the market. In the past, those old styles and non-energy-saving products have quietly exited.

With the deepening of the concept of environmental protection and energy conservation and the promotion of the use of high-quality sanitary ware, consumers have acquired a new understanding of these water-saving sanitary wares. Mr. Zhang, an Eagle brand sanitary ware dealer, also said that now, product replacement is very frequent, in order to occupy quickly. In the market, sanitary ware products also need to work hard to improve the performance of products.

Event 10: The overall sanitary warewashing Xiaolang tide The overall sanitary ware industry is an inevitable trend of the development of the industry, although has always been tepid in the market, but with many bathroom brands involved in the overall bathroom this year, "all people picking firewood flame high" The situation will appear. After the increase in production capacity, the overall bathroom prices will gradually decline. It can be predicted that in the near future, the overall bathroom industry will be seen in the city, and at the same time, a number of well-known brands and even international brands will be created.

It is understood that the concept of the overall bathroom when the earliest introduction of China, referring to a "small box": stamping with a mold, and then assembled from the formed sheet. This "bathroom" is for the rational use of space. It is only a design method. It is also called the overall design. The simplest example is the bathroom in an airplane. With the development of the design, the "all-encompassing bathroom" of the complete set of solutions is being paid attention by the industry and consumers.
