U.S. Toilet Partitions Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Stainless Steel, Plastic Sheets, Solid Plastic, Powder Coated Metal), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2019 - 2025

Industry Insights

The U.S. toilet partitions market size was estimated at USD 690.4 million in 2018 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2019 to 2025. The market is expected to be driven by growing demand for single-occupancy gender neutral bathrooms, in turn, benefitting the demand for toilet partitions across the U.S. Availability, production R&D, and proximity between manufacturer and supplier are some of the vital factors affecting raw material prices. Manufacturers procure raw materials directly or through third-party suppliers under competitively priced supply contracts. They enter into long-term contracts with raw material suppliers to ensure uninterrupted supply.

Market players use their purchasing power to prompt suppliers to make their operations more sustainable. Rising concerns regarding the sustainability and transparency of suppliers have compelled manufacturers to improve their procurement practices. Furthermore, industry participants procure raw materials from sustainable sources to meet the ascending demand.

Technological advancements in the industry have resulted in the production of toilet partitions with scratch and scuff resistance and easy-to-clean and maintain properties. In addition, major market players are focused on the development of new products having high aesthetic values, additional properties such as waterproof and mildew resistance, and various performance characteristics.

Industry participants are involved in risk mapping and auditing of their suppliers to improve sustainability. They conduct on-site visits and focused audits to monitor and enhance the sustainability performance of their suppliers. In addition, focused audits are conducted based on concerns raised by stakeholders or risk assessments.

The U.S. toilet partitions market is expected to exhibit low bargaining power of suppliers, owing to the presence of limited number of buyers, who procure raw materials from local as well as international suppliers. However, challenges in procurement of polymers and steel, which are widely used in other applications, may limit their bargaining power.
