The 8th edition of the ‘Commercial Washrooms Market Report UK 2021-2025’ has been published by AMA Research. The report represents an informed and up-to-date review of the commercial washrooms market and covers washroom panel systems, sanitaryware, brassware, showers & mixers, baths, and accessible equipment.

The market for commercial washroom products and services has been growing at a steady pace between 2016 and 2019, before a sharp decline in 2020 caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on the non-residential construction sector.

Product developments in the commercial washrooms market have increasingly focused on quality and design with a trend towards higher value products with added functionality and improved performance. This market sector is diverse and incorporates a broad range of products, ranging from stylish systems in commercial offices and hotels to more utilitarian and vandal resistant washrooms for use in prisons and schools, for example.

With Covid-19, there is a heightened focus on hygiene measures, in healthcare settings and other commercial areas. The risk of scalding has become a further important concern, particularly in care homes, hospitals, and schools. With the government drive towards carbon net zero by 2050, the need to save water and energy, particularly in sizeable commercial premises, is increasingly necessary.

Durability and ease of maintenance has also become an important consideration in the design of commercial washroom products, given the potential to extend the refurbishment cycle. The use of smart technology and the digital control of washroom systems has become more prevalent to deliver an improved quality of experience for users and achieve building management efficiencies.

The prospects for the UK commercial washrooms market in 2021 are positive, with a strengthening pipeline of non-residential new work and RMI activity going forward. The market is expected to achieve annual growth rates of 3-4% in value terms between 2022 and 2025, with a more settled economic outlook and the increasing demand for more premium, smart, and bespoke solutions.
