A washbasin is also known as a sink, sinker, hand basin, washbowl. It is mainly a bowl-shaped sink crafted in different shapes and sizes used for handwashing, dishwashing, or other usages. A washbasin is attached to a water tap that allows flow of hot or cold water as per the user's requirement. The washbasin has a drain fitted in the centre for smooth drainage of water. The kitchen washbasin comes with a soap dispenser that assists the user in cleaning the dishware and other utensils with ease. A washbasin is an integral part of society that helps maintain proper hygiene. One of the drawbacks of a washbasin is the drains get blocked if optimum care is not applied. Usage of specific chemical helps in clearing the blockage of the drainage. In some cases, we have to appoint a professional for resolving the issue. Washbasins are used extensively in households and are commonly used in public, corporate, or commercial places.
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 washbasins fell, but the company remained the top buyer of sanitary wares. The washbasin market has experienced a drop in production due to lack of labor to continue the manufacturing process.
- The primary cause was 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 washbasin 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 washbasins 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 washbasin market. Following the pandemic, construction work was put on hold, obviating the need for washbasins. Consumers are more concerned with meeting their basic needs than with purchasing high-end sanitary wares for decoration.
- The growth of the washbasin market's online sales is lagging and is comparable to that of 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 in accordance with the requirements.
