The market is "warming up"
Unlike the gloomy situation in previous months, entering the peak construction season this year is considered by many sanitary equipment dealers to be less gloomy. However, the demand mainly comes from the construction of civil works, while the real estate supply to the market is currently very limited.
A survey by Kinh te & Do thi reporters at dealers specializing in providing sanitary equipment on Hoang Quoc Viet, Cat Linh, Lang streets... shows that customers tend to look for high-end sanitary equipment, because after the rainy season and the impact of storms, many families have problems with odors from the toilet due to many reasons such as high humidity, overloaded drainage systems... forcing them to renovate.
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Tuan (35 years old, Thanh Xuan district) shared that the recent rainy season was probably a difficult and equally unpleasant time for his family. Because the rain water seeped into the walls, causing many problems with the family's drainage system, the toilet smelled...
"Because the equipment had been used for a long time, it quickly deteriorated, became unstable and continuously broke down, causing difficulties for the family's daily life. When I called the store to ask for a repairman, I was advised to renovate and waterproof it. After spending time researching the sanitary equipment, clearly understanding the design, model and price, I decided to "pay" - Mr. Tuan shared.
Mr. Minh - owner of a sanitary equipment business on Cat Linh Street said that in previous years, the trend of going to supermarkets and construction material display centers was a popular choice for consumers, but now it has changed. The need to order online to receive promotions and save time is no longer strange.
"With 7 - 10 million VND, customers can own a set of bathroom equipment, from wash basins, sanitary equipment, shower faucets, mirrors and accompanying accessories from high-end sanitary equipment manufacturers such as TOTO, Cotto... if there is a promotion program of e-commerce platforms, the discount will be even deeper" - Mr. Minh said.
In addition, consumers now prefer smart sanitary products with full features and technology to meet high demands. For example, sanitary products such as toilets and showers are now equipped with smart technology, allowing remote control via mobile applications. Smart toilets have automatic washing, drying and temperature adjustment functions.
Or products with additional water-saving technology are becoming more and more popular, with products such as sensor faucets and toilets with smart flushing modes, helping to reduce water consumption while still ensuring efficiency...
In that context, leading brands, especially foreign brands such as TOTO, LIXIL, CAESAR, KOHLER, etc. have been dominating the market for high-end, smart sanitary equipment.
Need to learn carefully before buying
The increasingly diverse range of high-end sanitary ware products shows the diversity of the domestic sanitary ware market. This is also a good sign for manufacturers who want to conquer many customer segments.
However, many dealers also shared that many products and sanitary equipment of unknown origin have appeared on the market, causing harm to the health of users because of the unsafe manufacturing materials such as showerhead materials mixed with many toxic impurities... along with surprisingly cheap prices. Therefore, depending on each price segment, consumers should make reasonable choices to avoid buying poor quality products.
Architect Ngo Tam - COVIC Construction Consulting Joint Stock Company said that the sanitary equipment market is not lacking in fake and poor quality products. On e-commerce platforms, products without a brand name or sold at very cheap prices are often fake or counterfeit goods, often made from cheap materials, easily damaged, peeled or stained quickly. Quality products often come with safety certification and warranty.
"There have been many cases where people have "lost money and suffered" after purchasing a product because the product they received was not as advertised, or the product was fake, poor quality, or of unknown origin after installation and use. To protect yourself, research carefully before deciding to buy, choose reputable suppliers, and do not hesitate to request information about the product." - Architect Ngo Tam said.
