It is estimated that the sales volume of intelligent toilets will reach 9.1 million units in 2021, but the current penetration rate is less than 2%. Compared with developed countries such as Japan, the United States and South Korea, there is much room for improvement, and the future development of the industry can be expected.

Affected by the sharp rise in the prices of engineering plastics and other raw materials, the company’s profitability declined in the first three quarters of 2021. At present, the short-term disturbance factors are gradually alleviated. The price of upstream raw materials has continued to decline since mid October.
