A flushing system consists of either a flushing cistern with an integrated warning pipe connection, a device considered an equally effective tool along with an inlet/outlet device, or a pressure flush valve. Flushing systems are components of a lavatory designed for flushing discharged waste materials from toilets and urinal equipment.
Among the primary types of flushing systems are gravity flush, dual flush, pressure-assisted flush, tornado flush, and others. Gravity-assisted toilets rely on gravity for their function; when the handle is activated, a valve in the tank opens, allowing water to flow down due to gravity. As this water descends into the bowl, it creates a siphoning effect in the toilet's trap way at the base. This suction effect aids in moving both water and waste through the pipe and into the septic tank or utility sewer lines. Flushing systems employ diverse technologies, including manual operation, sensors, remote control, and waterless flushing. These systems cater to both residential and commercial users, offering efficiency and functionality in waste disposal.
The flushing systems market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides flushing systems market statistics, including flushing systems industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a flushing systems market share, detailed flushing systems market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the flushing systems industry. This flushing systems market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The flushing systems market size has grown marginally in recent years. It will grow from $2.57 billion in 2024 to $2.62 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to urbanization and infrastructure development, water scarcity issues, consumer demand for innovation, retrofitting activities, cost-effectiveness and long-term savings.
The flushing systems market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.97 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to energy efficiency standards, consumer demand for customization, shift towards dual-flush systems, market penetration in developing regions, green building initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include cost-effectiveness and long-term savings, consumer education and awareness, maintenance and service contracts, water conservation focus, hygiene and infection control.
The growth of the flushing systems market is being driven by increased awareness of hygiene. This awareness involves maintaining good personal hygiene, which includes keeping all external body parts clean and healthy. Improved hygiene fosters better health, self-confidence, and overall development. Good hygiene is crucial for individuals to lead long, healthy lives and to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Flushing systems contribute to hygiene by ensuring that toilets are clean and ready for use. For example, according to a report by UNICEF (the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund), a UN organization dedicated to providing humanitarian and developmental aid to children in need worldwide, 2.4 billion more people now have access to safely managed sanitation services, defined as a minimal facility where excreta are either treated off-site or disposed of locally. However, another report published by the United Nations, a US-based intergovernmental organization, in March 2023, indicated that as of 2022, a total of 2.2 billion individuals lacked access to safely managed drinking water, with 703 million lacking even basic water services. Additionally, 3.5 billion people did not have access to safely managed sanitation, including 1.5 billion without basic sanitation services. Furthermore, 2 billion people lacked access to a basic handwashing facility, with 653 million having no handwashing facility at all. Therefore, the heightened awareness of hygiene will drive the growth of the flushing systems market.
The growth of residential construction and other infrastructure activities is driving the expansion of the flushing systems market. Residential construction and infrastructure development involve investments in and the creation of the physical assets essential for individuals to thrive as citizens and participate in the economic, political, civic, household, and other roles vital to their well-being and that of their society. Increased urbanization and improvements in living standards are leading to a rise in construction and infrastructural development. Flushing systems are integral to these infrastructures, enhancing sanitation systems. For example, a report published by the Office for National Statistics, the UK-based administrative office of the United Kingdom Statistics Authority, indicated that in February 2022, the annual construction sector increased by a record 12.7% in 2021 compared to the previous year. In December 2021, the monthly construction output rose by 2.0%, driven entirely by an increase in new work (3.5%). Along with this monthly growth, the construction industry's quarterly production rose by 1.0% in Q4 2021 compared to Q3, fueled by both new work (1.1%) and repair and maintenance (0.8%). Therefore, the growth in residential construction and other infrastructure activities will lead to an increased demand for flushing systems.
Major companies in the flushing system market are creating innovative products, such as the Smart Bidet Toilet, to improve bathroom convenience and hygiene through advanced features and modern design. A smart bidet toilet is a sophisticated bathroom fixture that merges traditional toilet functions with electronic bidet features, providing enhanced hygiene and comfort through functionalities like adjustable water temperature, pressure control, and automated cleaning options. For example, in December 2023, Kohler Co., a US-based company specializing in smart kitchen and bath products, introduced the Innate smart toilet, designed to integrate hygiene, water conservation, and convenience. This model boasts dual-flush technology, allowing users to choose between a 1.0 and 1.28-gallon (4.8 liters) flush, conserving water while ensuring effective performance. Additionally, it includes a personalized bidet system and a touchless flush feature.
Major companies in the flushing system market are developing advanced technologies, such as toilet flushing platforms, to cater to larger customer bases, increase sales, and boost revenue. Toilet flushing platforms refer to the technologies or systems used in toilets to initiate the flushing process. For example, in January 2022, Kohler Co., a US-based manufacturing company, introduced Revolution 360 swirl flush technology. Revolution 360 is Kohler's most comprehensive flush innovation, utilizing advanced technology to achieve a 360-degree water flow from the tank. This groundbreaking design enhances the power and effectiveness of the flush. As the water exits the tank, it is channeled into the bowl through two robust ports, creating a swirling motion that promotes superior bowl cleanliness compared to traditional flushes. Kohler's engineering team carefully employed experiments and Computational Fluid Dynamics methods to analyze, refine, and perfect every intricate detail, ensuring thorough rinsing of the entire bowl surface.
In April 2024, the Roca Group, a Spain-based bathroom solutions company, acquired Nosag and IneoCare for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Roca Group's commitment to innovation and expand its product offerings for the senior population and individuals with reduced mobility, thereby enhancing its "total care concept" in bathroom solutions. Nosag is a Switzerland-based manufacturer of bathroom aids, while IneoCare is a Poland-based manufacturer of bathroom products.
