The rising demand for water-saving technologies is notably driving the market growth, although the threat of substitute products may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Rising demand for water-saving technologies is notably driving the smart toilet market growth. The need to conserve water and water resources is one of the main goals of leading smart toilet manufacturers. Population growth has increased the need for sustainable water supplies. Water consumption is increasing due to the increasing construction of commercial buildings. Flush toilets are one of the largest water consumers in buildings and homes, accounting for almost one-third of indoor water use. Generally, there are two types of flushing systems used in residential and commercial buildings: gravity flush and pressure flush. Gravity washing uses water to generate the washing pressure. A pressure assist system, on the other hand, uses compressed air to force water into a bowl.
Some of the latest technologies for flushing systems involve dual cyclone flushing systems. The Dual Cyclone is the newest system offered by Toto and uses approximately 1.28 gallons of water per flush. However, the system's unique design directs the water into a siphon to create a more efficient flush. Toto offers a wide range of products in the One-Piece, Tight Bond, Wall Hanging, Wallside, and Seat Cover categories. Toto offers a range of intelligent water-saving toilets. Hence, the rising demand for water-saving technologies is expected to boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The demand for customized and germ-resistant toilet seats is a key trend influencing the smart toilet market growth. With increasing awareness of health and hygiene, customized antibacterial toilet seats are the latest trend in the market. Demand for resistant custom toilet seats is increasing from wealthy individuals and high-income consumers, as the use of public toilet seats can transmit contagious diseases. Unsanitary and non-microbiologically resistant toilet seats can compromise user safety and increase the risk of skin diseases. Kohler, TOTO, and other sanitary companies have introduced intelligent toilet systems containing antimicrobial agents. These agents protect the toilet seat from stain-causing bacteria and other microbes, making it antimicrobial.
Brill Hygienic Products' automatic toilet seat cover offers antimicrobial toilet seat protection technology, including wall-mounted sensors and a button on the toilet seat that controls the replacement of the toilet seat cover after use. This prevents the spread of germs and makes the toilet seat bacteria-resistant. The introduction of these toilet seats is expected to increase in both developed and developing countries as awareness of these products increases, driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The threat of substitute products is challenging the smart toilet market growth. In some countries such as China, India, and other developing countries, regular toilets are the most preferred. Lack of awareness of smart toilet functionality, cost constraints, and low penetration in developing countries are expected to hamper the growth of the market. Hygiene culture varies from country to country. For example, in India, most rural areas do not have toilets. The Government of India has launched the Swatch Bharat Mission' initiative focused on providing adequate sanitation to rural India.
However, nationwide awareness of smart toilets and smart toilet seats is very low, so this will increase the demand for regular toilets. With a large rural population in a country like India, sanitary procedures are quite different from other countries around the world. Therefore, the demand for smart toilets is limited to high-income households and high-end commercial buildings. This could pose challenges to the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.

The commercial segment was valued at USD 5,074.38 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. The key factor driving the growth of the market is efforts by governments and private organizations to conserve water. Federal certification programs focused on water conservation and energy conservation are growing in popularity, such as WaterSense and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). As the concept of green buildings gains traction, building owners are retrofitting non-residential buildings to make them more efficient and sustainable. Green buildings reduce carbon emissions by 35%.
