Global Water Free Urinals Market by Application (Retail, Office), by Technology (Liquid Sealant Trap System, Membrane Trap System, Valve Barrier System) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

Global water-free urinals market was worth USD 280.4 millions in 2019. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 11.2%) between 2020 and 2027. Market growth is expected to be driven by increasing awareness about water conservation and the growing adoption of "Green Building" standards. In terms of design, waterless urinals look very similar to traditional ones. These urinals can be used in the same way as traditional ones. Waterless urinals do not require water to flush, which, as their name implies, saves a lot of water per urinal each year. In 2019, the liquid sealant trap system was the most popular technology segment on the U.S. waterfree toilet market.

The segment is driven by the presence of top sealant trap system waterfree manufacturers like Water Technologies and Waterless Co. Inc. and easy availability of consumables such as cartridge and sealant fluid. The sourcing and supply water for buildings takes a lot of energy. The treatment and storage costs of water are also significant. Waterfree urinals can help reduce the cost of building constructions and energy consumption.

Diverse governmental agencies around the globe are working to promote and implement water conservation measures. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for instance, launched 'WaterSense' in June 2006. This voluntary partnership program certifies and labels various water-efficient sanitaryware products and plumbing products such as toilets and faucets.

Most waterless urinals are made of vitreous ceramic material. The high cost of principal raw materials like Kaolin clay is causing market players to use other materials to make the urinal bodies. Urimat Schweiz AG, for example, uses polycarbonate material in the manufacture of its water-free urinals.

Technology Insights

The market leader in valve barrier systems was 46.2% of global revenue in 2019, accounting for the largest share. Valve barrier technology is highly sought after for its durability and low maintenance. It doesn't need to be replaced like other systems. Technology has a higher flow rate than the membrane trap system.

The membrane trap system is a cartridge that contains a one-way valve. This allows urine to flow under gravity and prevents gases from entering the sewage pipes. To keep the membrane's mouth open, the top of it is attached to a holder. The membrane's remaining portion deforms into a tube-like shape that blocks odors from coming out of the urinal.

Because of its durability and low maintenance, the membrane trap system is seeing increased adoption. The membrane trap system can be used with many cleaning chemicals due to its lack of sealant liquid. To convert existing traditional urinals to water-free cartridges, the membrane trap technology is used.

In 2019, the liquid sealant trap segment earned USD 53.5 millions in revenue and is projected to continue growing over the forecast period. The segment's growth will be affected by the high maintenance costs associated with this technology.

Application Insights

Due to increasing emphasis on building energy-efficient office spaces, the office segment dominated the market. It accounted for more that 27.0% of global revenue in 2019. Over the forecast period, product demand will be supported by increasing investment in the renovation of old office buildings.

Hospitality can be described as hotels, resorts, or restaurants. These establishments put a lot of pressure on the water system. Excessive water usage can lead to significant increases in operational costs and a decrease in profit margins. The sector is now focusing more on water conservation and using water-free urinals.

Retail is expected to grow at 12.4% CAGR in terms of revenue during the forecast period. Retailers are adopting more sustainable measures such as energy-efficient lighting, HVAC systems that use less energy, and water-efficient plumbing. Retail is predicted to be a major market for waterless urinals in future.

Other segments include stadiums, public washrooms and other transportation facilities such as bus terminals and airports. These venues are often visited by a lot of people. These facilities are subject to a large amount of water consumption due to the use of washrooms. This is why water-free urinals can be a great way to save water.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific was the dominant market, accounting for more than 34.0% of global revenue in 2019. This is due to the high product demand from emerging economies like India, China and Vietnam in the office and retail segments. The future will see increased regulatory support for water-efficient sanitaryware adoption in the region.

Football is Europe's most loved sport. Nearly every region has a local football team. The region also has some of Europe's largest football arenas like Camp Nou in Barcelona (Spain), Webley in London (UK), and Allianz Arena (Munich (Germany). These sporting arenas offer huge market potential.

North America will see a 10.5% increase in revenue over the forecast period due to a positive outlook toward the U.S. office construction sector. The region's growing acceptance of 'Green Building' standards will also drive product demand.

Based on revenue, the Middle East and Africa will experience the highest CAGR at 13.4%. The main factors expected to drive product demand in the region are acute water scarcity, increasing adoption of water-efficient toiletware and bathroom fixtures, as well as rapid growth in commercial construction in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and the UAE.
