Some people believe that the "dividend" of development disappears and rises with the rigidity of costs. The rapid growth period of the bathroom industry has passed. However, some people believe that as a branch of the bathroom industry, the market pattern of the bathroom hardware industry has not yet taken shape. Emerging channels such as e-commerce and hypermarkets are emerging, and the growth space is still huge.

The large number of "European style" products in the market is an example. But with the further development of personalization. other The market segment will gradually take shape, and the consumers with pure European style or "American style" will be less and less. The marketing environment of bathroom hardware has changed from product centered to consumer centered. Meeting the changing consumer demand will be a huge challenge for manufacturers.

Distribute products through the traditional distributor (agent) hierarchical channel network, with consumers as the end point. Realize the withdrawal of funds for the purpose of promoting products. With the transformation of the seller's market into the buyer's market, the focus of the supply chain is shifting to the downstream, and consumers are becoming more and more important. In the process of transforming the supply chain from "push" to "pull", some enterprises choose vertical integration, some choose to sink channels, some choose to form strategic alliances between upstream and downstream, some choose Wahaha style joint marketing, and some choose e-commerce. It remains to be seen which form will stand out.
