China High-End Bathroom Accessories

Twenty years ago, bathroom accessories and ceramics were merely imported goods. Now China’s gross product ranks the first in the world. However, that rank comes from 3000 manufacturers and numerous low-end products. For a long time, China’s bathroom accessories industry was in a disadvantageous position. In that case, these manufacturers just conducted cutthroat competition in the low-end market. Gradually China Products became the symbol of low quality On the contrast, the foreign brands always occupy the high-end and remunerative market.

“Counterfeiting has become common failing of bathroom accessories industry”, says a CEO of bathroom accessory manufacturer, “In China, people are specialized in copying products”. Indeed, the high cost of developing products seems to make counterfeiting understandable. That is to say, innovation might be the burden of many manufacturers.

“Others can easily steal the design but never the technology”, says Mr. Chen, general manager of a bathroom accessories manufacturer in Fujian city, “What makes Chinese goods so backward is that most Chinese manufacturers merely focus on counterfeiting instead of technology”.

Besides leading design and high quality, technology is one of the most important brand concepts of foreign bathroom accessories and ceramics products. Mr. Wu Jun Cai is general manager of American Standard Corporation in China region. He emphasizes that his company has been focusing on healthy technology and that design and technology are the two most important elements. According to his introduction, his company recently developed a series of products that contain micro antibiosis element, such as Bathtub Faucets. These products can keep bacterium form breeding in sanitary wares. The antibacterial effect is steady and lasting and it helps eliminate the peculiar smell.

Adding health elements into design and developing technologies are important moves to solve the current problems. Also, that can turn products competition into technologies competition in international bathroom accessories industry. Nowadays, technology has become the key to the competition in high-end market. Many international companies like American Standard Corporation, TOTO, and Imperial have established factories in China. They intend to both produce and sell the products in China.
