 Development trend of the intelligent toilet industry in 2022

 

1. Product technology development trend

The core of the future development of the intelligent toilet industry is technological innovation, which will improve the function of the intelligent toilet by improving technology and expand the product sales market. At present, the technical direction of the product has changed from traditional thermal storage type to instant heating type, and with the joint promotion of the major intelligent bathroom brands, instant heating technology has become the future core production technology of the toilet industry.

 

For a long time, consumers have been dissatisfied with the intelligent toilet because of the unstable storage water temperature and slow heating. Now, using instant heating technology to produce intelligent toilet can effectively solve this problem and improve the satisfaction of consumers and the brand image of the enterprise, which is undoubtedly a win-win situation. In the future R & D process, intelligent toilet manufacturers should not only consider the experience of consumers, but also fully integrate the changing trend of the market environment and government policies to ensure that the intelligent toilet can better adapt to the market.

 

2. Product appearance and function 

For consumers, appearance is always the key to promote consumption, followed by product performance. While improving the functions of the toilet, intelligent toilet manufacturers also need to pay attention to the appearance design of products, so as to bring consumers a comfortable and beautiful experience, promote consumer consumption and increase product sales.

 

Before designing a new product, the designer needs to fully investigate the consumer experience of the previous product, collect the use opinions of consumers, improve the shortcomings of the previous product in the design of the next product, and integrate the opinions of consumers on the intelligent toilet to design a product that more meets the needs of consumers. The future development of the intelligent toilet tends to be humanized, and the product design is more based on the user experience, so that the intelligent toilet can better meet people's needs.
