The overall bathroom is not tepid, and it will take time for full promotion

When the reporter visited the terminal building materials market, it was found that some distributors with strong innovation ability and high market sensitivity took the lead in the development of the industry. The toilet, bathtub, bathroom, bathroom cabinet, and faucet are integrated into an overall space, and even a unified overall space. Its emergence means that consumers no longer need to run around for toilets, basins, mirrors, bathtubs, etc., as long as they choose a design and price, they can easily own a set of their own integrated bathroom.

Currently, some high-end sanitary ware brands, such as Kohler, TOTO, Hansgrohe, American Standard, etc., are making overall sanitary products. In addition, consumers' requirements for the use of sanitary products, individual design and other requirements are gradually improving. More and more consumers are beginning to pay attention to the unified, integrated and multi-functional integrated sanitary ware.

When the overall sanitary ware appeared on the market, it was really impressive, but what was the actual sales situation?

Through interviews with many distributors and shop assistants and on-site investigations, the reporter found that the demand for overall sanitary ware was gradually increasing but The current sales volume is not large, but from the current market, with the vigorous promotion of manufacturers and distributors in recent years, some consumers have gradually accepted the overall sanitary ware, and distributors generally believe that this is a major trend in the future.

Sales vary by region

However, for consumers, the selling point of the overall bathroom is to provide overall solutions, but the consumer’s ability to accept the overall bathroom depends on the region. However, the low-end market currently has poor acceptance of integrated sanitary ware, and consumers in some regions have not yet formed a concept of integrated sanitary ware. According to a reporter’s investigation, consumers in Baotou City are not very clear about the concept of integral sanitary ware, and the clerk of some sanitary ware specialty stores knows little about this aspect, although there are integral sanitary wares on sale in some high-end specialty stores. , But no one cares. The person in charge of a sanitary ware store told reporters that although the overall sanitary ware in Baotou has not yet risen, he believes that 'the overall sanitary ware has a very large space for development in the future.'

According to the relevant person in charge of a foreign bathroom brand, they learned that when they contacted consumers, the implementation of the overall bathroom in the Guangzhou market was not successful, and the market acceptance was not high. 'On the one hand, it is upholding the purchase principle of'shop around,' on the other hand, it is due to Guangzhou consumers' pursuit of personalization.' The person pointed out that in Guangzhou, single product sales still occupy an absolute advantage. . In fact, the reporter found in the major building materials markets in Guangzhou that no merchants have clearly put forward the concept of 'integrated bathroom

High prices have prevented promotion

These integral bathrooms not only look beautiful, but are also easy to install.
