It is reported that in accordance with the notice issued by the relevant state departments on the renovation of urban housing sanitary ware, Shanghai has begun to eliminate the water tank accessories on the old-fashioned toilets and replace them with water-saving accessories. Residential communities in Xuhui, Yangpu and Pudong districts have all been involved. In addition, according to the "water-saving work task" determined by Shanghai, the Water Affairs Bureau will adjust the price of tap water in a timely manner this year, explore the establishment of a comprehensive water price mechanism with a stepped water price as the core, and give full play to the role of water price in regulating water conservation; strengthen water-saving publicity, Increase the promotion and application of water-saving technology and water-saving appliances, and strive to complete the transformation of 50,000 high-water consumption toilets; select 1 administrative district, 2 industrial districts, 10 campuses, 20 communities and 100 enterprises, Use economic, legal, technical and administrative measures, publicity and other comprehensive measures to carry out demonstration and pilot projects for building a water-saving society.

The market price of sanitary ware varies greatly

According to the five-year plan of the Shanghai Municipal Water Affairs Bureau, more than 550,000 sets of water-saving ball valves and water inlet valves will be purchased, and old-fashioned toilets in residents' families will be transformed for free. At the same time, law enforcement will be stepped up to eliminate high-water consumption toilet accessories that are banned by the state.

A person from the Shanghai Municipal Water Planning Office said in an interview with reporters that each set of these water fixtures costs 60 to 70 yuan, and if they are damaged after one year of installation, residents will have to pay for them themselves. This is a big deal for the building materials and hardware markets in Shanghai.

At present, sanitary ware is generally sold through four channels: building materials stores, decoration companies, the Internet and brand single stores. Many sanitary ware dealers told reporters that the real estate market has had a great impact on the sales of building materials this year, and sales of sanitary ware have declined year-on-year compared with previous years. But some people in the industry are more optimistic about the prospects of the sanitary ware market. The styles and functions of sanitary ware are updated very quickly. In today's pursuit of quality of life, people will update sanitary products according to their own needs. Moreover, the installation of sanitary ware is only a small project in the whole family decoration, and the replacement is not troublesome.

Unlimited business opportunities for bathroom accessories

Industry insiders believe that there is a large market space for bathroom hardware accessories. There are many sets of bathroom accessories, but most of them include mirrors, toothbrush cups, tooth cup holders, soap tables, towel bars, bath towel racks, clothes hooks, paper tube holders, clothes hooks and toilet brush boxes. Sanitary accessories are consumables due to their frequent use and rapid product updates. In addition, they look like exquisite works of art, which are easy to attract consumption.

It is understood that from the material point of view, the bathroom hardware currently on the market is mainly made of titanium alloy, pure copper chrome plating, and stainless steel chrome plating. Titanium alloy hardware is the most exquisite and durable, but the price is the most expensive, the price is hundreds or even thousands of yuan; pure copper chrome-plated products can effectively prevent oxidation, and the quality is guaranteed. It is the mainstream of the current market, and the price is about About one hundred yuan; the price of stainless steel chrome plating is the lowest, mostly within one hundred yuan, but the service life is also the shortest. From the perspective of color, most of these new generation of bathroom hardware products have got rid of the original hard and cold stainless steel color, and silver white and brass color occupy the mainstream now.
