The global emphasis on sewerage treatment to meet water demands is a key driver for the market of plumbing fittings and fixtures products, whether purchased or rented by individuals or companies. The focus on sewerage treatment amplifies the demand for advanced plumbing solutions, as efficient and modern plumbing fixtures are crucial to supporting sustainable wastewater management and sanitation infrastructure. An illustrative example is highlighted in May 2023, where the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization reported that globally, 2 billion people, constituting 26% of the population, lack access to safe drinking water, and 3.6 billion individuals, representing 46%, do not have access to safely managed sanitation. Additionally, between two and three billion people experience water shortages for at least one month per year, with projections indicating that the urban population facing water scarcity will reach 1.7-2.4 billion people by 2050. Consequently, factors such as population growth, escalating water scarcity, and increasing urbanization contribute significantly to the rising demand in the plumbing fixtures and fittings market.
The growth of the plumbing fixtures and fittings market is anticipated to be fueled by an increase in construction activities. These activities encompass the various processes, tasks, and operations involved in the construction, erection, or assembly of structures, infrastructure, or facilities. Plumbing fixtures and fittings play a crucial role in construction, as they provide the necessary infrastructure for water supply, drainage, and sanitation systems, ensuring functionality and efficiency in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. For example, in July 2024, the US Census Bureau, a government agency in the United States, reported that the value of construction operations increased from $2.01 trillion in May 2023 to $2.14 trillion in May 2024. Thus, the rise in construction activities is a key driver of growth in the plumbing fixtures and fittings market.
Leading companies in the plumbing fixtures and fittings market are concentrating on the development of soaking tubs to improve user comfort, enhance aesthetic appeal, and promote relaxation.

Unlike standard bathtubs, soaking tubs are generally deeper and wider, enabling users to soak comfortably and enjoy a spa-like experience at home. For example, in June 2023, Cabuchon Inc., a UK-based company, introduced the Futari two-person soaking tub. This tub features steeply angled side walls that enhance the soaking experience while maintaining a compact design, making it suitable for smaller bathrooms. It also includes built-in seats, allowing bathers to adopt an upright, semi-seated posture for maximum comfort during use.

Walk-in bathtubs feature a door that facilitates easy access, allowing users to enter and exit safely while providing a full-body soaking experience, making them particularly suitable for individuals with mobility issues. For example, in September 2022, SageHome LLC, a US-based company, launched Smart Bath, which specializes in the installation of walk-in showers and bathtubs designed to enhance accessibility for seniors and individuals with mobility challenges. Smart Bath offers robust warranties on its products and services, demonstrating confidence in their quality and durability.
