Increasing focus of government on improving sanitization across developing countries is expected to create new growth opportunities for the flushing systems market

 

Flush toilets have come a long way since their inception, with many advanced features such as hydrostatic drainage and waste heaters built into them today. There are also many new types of flushing systems, which include the forced-air washdown toilet, vertical stack flushing systems, and siphon flush toilets. They are relatively easy to install and use, making them the best option for the majority of homeowners who want to avoid having to deal with the messy job of flushing the toilet.

 

The growing awareness regarding hygiene and increasing spending on toilet accessories are propelling the growth of the flushing systems market. The growing focus of the government to improve sanitization across developing countries is again driving the growth of the market. According to the World Health Organization, in 2017, 45% of the global population (3.4 billion people) used a safely managed sanitation service. 31% of the global population (2.4 billion people) used private sanitation facilities connected to sewers from which wastewater was treated. Growing advancement in the flushing system is also projected to foster the growth of the flushing systems market. For instance, in February 2019, Parryware, India’s contemporary bathroom solutions brand expands its product portfolio with the addition of sixteen new sanitaryware products- 10 WCs and 8 basins. The products are exclusively designed for modern-day bathroom spaces and ideal fit for all bathrooms.

The Asia Pacific is projected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the increasing initiatives by the government to improve the sanitization system in the region. For instance, recently, the Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has approved Phase II of the Swachh Bharat Mission (Grameen) [SBM (G)] till 2024-25, which will focus on Open Defecation Free Plus (ODF Plus), which includes ODF sustainability and Solid and Liquid Waste Management (SLWM). The program will also work towards ensuring that no one is left behind, and everyone uses a toilet.
