Interpreting the development direction of bathroom, intelligent environmental protection has become two major themes in the industry.

Bathroom has developed rapidly in China for more than 10 years. People have witnessed the progress of kitchen and bathroom products and the rapid development of kitchen and bathroom industry in these years. As the largest kitchen and bathroom exhibition in Asia, China International Kitchen and Bathroom Exhibition, which closed at the end of last month, has an exhibition area of over 30,000 square meters, attracting more than 3,000 domestic and foreign bathroom brands to participate. The vigorous Shanghai Kitchen and Bathroom Exhibition should be regarded as the largest exhibition in China, the benchmark of the kitchen and bathroom industry, which shows the latest trend of the industry, that is, the use is more and more intelligent, the appearance is more and more simple, the production is more and more refined, the social responsibility is more and more environmentally friendly and energy-saving, and intellectual property rights are paid more and more attention.

Humanization of use

In the narrow bathroom space, the functions we hope to obtain are constantly satisfied and explored by businesses. Nowadays, multifunctional toilets, multifunctional steam rooms and multifunctional bathtubs are no longer the patents of big brands. When people get close to these multifunctional products, they are all amazed at the rapid development of bathroom products.

Take a simple shower as an example. According to Huang Lieyong, general manager of Shi Ying Sanitary Ware, there are more than a dozen functional showers, but the appearance is almost nothing special. Kung fu is only spent on the design of internal organs. The refrigerator bathroom cabinet introduced by Di Mei Sanitary Ware has applied the functions of fresh-keeping and sterilization of refrigerators to the design and production of bathroom cabinet products, and its design ideas are amazing.

It can be said that the function is increased and the appearance is simple.

Talking about the intelligence of products, any improvement of products should ultimately be for the convenience of consumers' installation or use, otherwise no one will pay for such improvement. Therefore, the improvement of products should develop in the direction of humanized use.

In order to meet the existing and potential market demand, it is necessary to continuously improve and intelligentize products, and it is also the need for the survival and development of enterprises. Continuously improved and intelligent products improve people's consumption taste, and also enable enterprises to obtain more market opportunities and commercial profits. Therefore, the product is simpler, and the use is more humanized and intelligent.

Kohler's smart toilet can adjust the temperature of the seat cushion only by controlling a few buttons on the panel, and complete a set of functions such as flushing, cleaning and drying. The shape of the toilet has gradually adapted to the body shape of China people, making it more comfortable to go to the toilet.

In the exhibition halls of various regions, the constant temperature technology of faucets has become a common "home cooking". As long as the switch is simply rotated to a certain temperature mark position, the water temperature of this temperature can be obtained, which not only avoids the risk of scalding, but also avoids the erratic water temperature.

Energy consumption and environmental protection

Environmental protection and energy saving is the constant theme of society. In addition, the water price adjustment has also come out. Therefore, environmental protection and energy-saving products will be favored by the market. In the bathroom industry, there are two themes: one is the use of environmental protection materials, and the other is water and electricity saving.

Because of its special physical properties, copper is widely used in faucet production. Now some enterprises have developed stainless steel faucets in the market. Under the marketing slogan of environmental protection materials, there must be a certain market space.

The latest national standard "Sanitary Ceramics" defines the average water consumption of water-saving toilets as: the average water consumption of urinals is not more than 3 liters, the average water consumption of toilets is not more than 6 liters, and the average water consumption of squatting toilets is not more than 8 liters. This provision is regarded as clear market access. Energy saving has become the product design direction and sales appeal of many brand enterprises. According to reports, foreign countries have shower flow limit standards, and it is expected that relevant flow standards will be issued in China market in the near future.

Environmental protection and energy saving are not only reflected in the product itself, but also in the packaging of the product, using renewable and degradable environmental protection materials. Some bathroom products have abandoned the traditional foamed polystyrene material and used pearl cotton (polyethylene EPE) with higher cost. These are the development trends.

refined

With the enhancement of consumers' brand awareness, more and more enterprises realize that quality is one of the most important factors for the long-term survival of enterprises. In addition, many domestic enterprises have many years of cooperation experience with international brand OEMs and have the ability to produce high-end bathroom quality, so bathroom products are becoming more and more beautiful.

product patent

In recent years, many sanitary ware enterprises have complained about counterfeiting and infringement in international exhibitions, and thus suffered losses to varying degrees. Coupled with the opening of the market, many enterprises spend money and time to develop and design their own products. When the market is mature, they are madly copied by the market and quickly enter the Red Sea competition. Therefore, patented products at the exhibition can be seen everywhere. In some catalogues of bathroom products, most products are marked with the words "patent design" in order to be different in the market competition and better protect themselves and customers in the market competition.
