US demand to rise 6.3%
annually through 2017
US demand for plumbing fixtures and
fittings is projected to advance 6.3
percent per year through 2017 to $12
billion, boosted by a rebound in building
construction. New housing construction
declined precipitously from 2006 through
2009 and nonresidential building activity
fell at double-digit rates for three years
beginning in 2009, severely constraining
demand for plumbing products. After
adjusting for price increases, expected
gains through 2017 will still leave
demand below the 2007 level.
Residential market to lead
gains, remain dominant
The residential market is the most
important for plumbing fixtures and
fittings; it will account for over three-fifths
of plumbing product demand in 2017 and
will see the most rapid annual gains.
Most demand in the residential market is
derived from improvement and repair
applications, as opposed to new
build-ings. Nevertheless, the rebound in new
housing completions from a low 2012
base will be a primary driver of growth.
Growth for fixtures
to outpace fittings
Demand for plumbing fixtures is forecast
to advance at a rapid annual pace
through 2017. Gains in fixture demand
will be driven by increased construction
and improvement expenditures as well
as increasing consumer interest in
design trends. Design trends in plumbing
fixtures and fittings can be boiled down
to one mantra: “More, not less.” In the
residential market, current trends cast
the kitchen and bathrooms as the most
important rooms of the house. The
kitchen is the “hub” of activity; the
bathroom a “sanctuary.” As these rooms
grow in size and importance, these
trends will propel architects, builders,
and homeowners to add value to their
homes by installing higher-end, and
simply more, fixtures to these spaces,
including spa-like showers,
large-capacity baths, multiple sinks with
specific end uses and aesthetically
appealing finishes, and luxurious toilets.
Demand for plumbing fittings will grow
less rapidly than that for plumbing
fixtures through 2017. Growth will be
driven largely by a combination of
economics -- as consumers trade out
older fittings for ones that conserve
water and reduce energy costs -- and
aesthetics, a result of changing tastes
and increased consumer confidence.
Certain categories of fittings, such as
single-level faucets, will display above
average growth as demographic shifts
promote demand for universal design
and ADA-compliant products, which are
easier for older Americans or those with
mobility issues to use. Overall price
growth for fittings will be slower than for
fixtures, as fittings face more competition
from low-cost imports.
Growth in plumbing fixture and fitting demand will be boosted by a rebound in construction as
residential markets — especially new housing completions — advance at an improved rate.
US Plumbing Products Demand
($12 billion, 2017)
Residential
Nonresidential
fixtures by type Whirlpool bathtubs
Demand for whirlpool bathtubs is projected to increase at an an-nual rate of 9.6 percent to $800 million in 2017, a turnaround from the declines of the 2007-2012 period. Unit demand will reach 825,000 units, just barely surpassing 2007 unit demand. During the 2007-2009 recession, many consumers opted to economize and selected less costly bathtubs instead of whirlpool bathtubs. Through 2017, the renewed growth in building construction expenditures and a growing consumer interest in whirlpool bathing will drive gains. Homeowners desiring an affordable luxury that recreates a spa-like atmosphere in the home will often invest in these fixtures. Similarly, builders will follow trends and install whirlpool bathtubs in new construction to make the houses more appealing to potential buyers.
Many residential trends begin in the nonresidential market, and whirlpool bathing is no exception. Many high-end commercial build-ings -- such as hotels, gyms, and spa resorts -- select these fixtures as a way to promote their status and improve customer satisfaction with their establishment. Homeowners take note and want to bring that luxuriant experience into their own bathroom. Growth in construction expendi-tures in the nonresidential markets, including health care rehabilitation centers where whirlpool baths serve a more therapeutic purpose, will continue to support demand for these fixtures through 2017.
Whirlpool bathtubs include both true whirlpool baths and air spas. In the former, water is suctioned out of the tub and redirected with jets. In the latter, streams of air are injected into the water. Manufacturers of bathtubs using the air spa system claim that they are easier to clean and avoid bacterial growth in the jets. In both cases, the object is to move water, providing hydromassage and keeping warm water next to the body.
