Renewed Interest in Hygiene to Boost Demand for Touchless Plumbing Products

by Freedonia Industry Studies

April 27, 2020

Studies indicate that one of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is an increase in one of the most simplest – yet effective – ways of combatting the virus: washing hands. Nearly 80% of US consumers report changing the way they wash their hands. Building owners and facilities managers will want to do what they can to make sure that this number can increase. Additionally, they will want to reassure workers and visitors in light of heightened hygiene concerns, as businesses, restaurants, and other facilities consider how to safely reopen as the crisis begins to ebb.

One way in which this can be done is to install touchless plumbing products. These items, so named because they can be operated by sensors, can be activated by a user simply by moving a hand or foot near the sensor – avoiding any contact with the plumbing fixture or fitting. This is an important consideration for many people concerned about germs or coming in contact with a surface that may be contaminated with coronavirus. Furthermore, use of these plumbing products can reduce water usage and impart a more modern look to any bathroom facility – important considerations for any building owner or manager.

Types of touchless products than can be installed in bathrooms include:

  • lavatory and kitchen sink faucets
  • toilet fixtures
  • urinals and bidets
  • showerheads and related components
  • soap and hand sanitizer dispensers
  • paper towel dispenser

For more information, see The Freedonia Group’s recent publications, including the full industry study covering Plumbing Fixtures & Fittings (which includes coronavirus market impact analysis) and the special slide deck COVID-19 Impact Report: Plumbing Fixtures & Fittings (which covers the current crisis and places it in the historical context of other recent economic crisis).
