Factors contributing to this growth during the historical period include the surge in urbanization and infrastructure development, a boom in the housing and construction sector, innovative designs, legislation governing water efficiency, and increased awareness among consumers about health and hygiene.
The plumbing fixtures and fittings market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for plumbing fixtures and fittings is predicted to witness a substantial expansion in the upcoming years, reaching a value of $156.39 billion in 2029, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.9%.
The projected growth during this period can be traced back to several factors such as competitive dynamics and innovative breakthroughs, the evolution of regulatory norms, economic fluctuations, effects of market globalization, and consumer inclination towards aesthetic appeal.

The global emphasis on sewage treatment to satisfy water needs is driving the market for plumbing fittings and fixtures purchased or leased by individuals or businesses. The need for advanced plumbing fixtures and fittings is boosted by sewage treatment, as effective and contemporary plumbing technologies play a vital role in promoting sustainable wastewater management and sanitation infrastructure. For example, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations based in France, reported in May 2023 that 2 billion people worldwide, accounting for 26% of the population, lack safe drinking water access, while 46%, or 3.6 billion individuals, lack access to effectively managed sanitation. Annually, between two and three billion people face water shortages for at least one month, and it's expected that by 2050, the urban population faced with water scarcity will rise to 1.7–2.4 billion. Therefore, the rising population and increasing demands due to the increasing scarcity of water and urbanization are key factors contributing to the growth of the plumbing fixtures and fittings market.
