COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- Countries were forced to impose a lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which halted the construction of new properties and households. As a result, the demand for toilet seats fell, but the company remained the top buyer of sanitary wares. The toilet seat market has experienced a drop in production due to a lack of labor to continue the manufacturing process.
- The primary cause was the disruption in the distribution channel, as adequate raw materials could not reach the industries for production; delivery of a sufficient supply of finished products to the dedicated stores was not possible. Consumers had no choice but to go to specialized stores and purchase the toilet bowls and seats that they required.
Top Impacting Factors
- In the pre-COVID era, the construction of properties, commercial complexes, public toilets, and sanitation blocks was in full force. This factor induced the need for toilet seats in bulk quantities and of different shapes as required. The sales of new homes, change in lifestyle, high disposable income, rapid urbanization, and improvement in the standard of living contribute to the growth of the toilet seat market. Following the pandemic, construction work was put on hold, obviating the need for toilet seats. Consumers are more concerned with meeting their basic needs than with purchasing high-end sanitary wares for decoration.
- The growth of the sanitary ware market's online sales is lagging and is comparable weak than the brick-and-mortar stores. The lack of proper price transparency is a barrier that discourages consumers from purchasing online. While there is still opportunity in the online market, as time passes and lifestyles become more complex, consumers will likely shift to online shopping for convenience. Improved transparency in product details and pricing will encourage customers to purchase online. Companies anticipate experimenting with new ways to reach customers online and act following the requirements.
