When it comes to building, remodeling and renovating homes and commercial properties, bathroom fixtures are one of the most important elements that determine a space’s overall look, feel and functionality. Design & durability Whether for do-it-yourself or professional applications, using quality fixtures can have a profound impact on a bathroom’s design, safety and usability. Innovations in bathroom fixtures are evident in the selections offered in the marketplace today. Mirrors, for instance, have LED backlights and smart features such as magnification, water resistance and defogger. When it comes to materials, noncorrosive metals such as stainless and galvanized steel, aluminum, copper, bronze and brass are popular choices among manufacturers not just because they take a long time to rust but also because they are easy to clean, durable and complement any bathroom design. Market growth In general, the plumbing fittings and fixtures market is forecast to grow, driven by increased home purchases, income growth, urbanization, home remodeling and the requirement for high-end fixtures from the luxury housing and star hotel segments. According to Global Industry Analysts, Inc., the market is poised to hit $106.4 billion by 2026, with the bathroom fixtures and fittings segment expected to reach $53.1 billion. The report added the US, China, Japan, Canada and Germany will experience fast growth among all the regions worldwide.
