Mobile Toilet Manufacturers Switching Industries

Admin October 19, 2026

It is indeed quite common for mobile toilet manufacturers to 'switch industries' and start producing nucleic acid sampling booths, primarily driven by changes in market demand and the rapid response of enterprises.

1. Typical Case of Industry Transformation
Take Rongdong Manufacturing as an example. Originally specializing in equipment such as mobile toilets and security guard booths, after providing mobile public toilets for Shanghai's Fangcang hospitals, it rapidly entered the nucleic acid sampling booth market in April 2022 through independent research and development and production line transformation. This transformation reflects the company's flexible adjustment capabilities during public health events, applying its original production experience to new fields through technology transfer (such as modular design and rapid assembly processes), thereby shortening the product development cycle.

2. Diverse Entities Engaging in Cross-Industry Production
According to data from Aicai.com, the producers of nucleic acid sampling booths come from a wide range of sources, including:

  • Air Conditioning Enterprises: Utilizing their ventilation system design capabilities to optimize the air circulation in sampling booths;
  • Steel Structure Construction Enterprises: Leveraging their advantages in frame structure construction to enhance the stability of the booth bodies;
  • Container and Panel House Producers: Drawing on modular production experience to achieve standardized mass manufacturing;
  • Manufacturers of Road Flower Boxes, Office Furniture, and Public Billboards: Reducing production transition costs through material reuse (such as metal sheets and glass) and process adjustments.

3. Core Drivers of Production Transition

  • Surge in Market Demand: With the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, nucleic acid sampling booths have become an important part of grassroots medical facilities, with demand experiencing explosive growth in the short term;
  • Relatively Low Technical Threshold: The structure of sampling booths is simple, mainly involving basic processes such as metal processing and ventilation system installation, with a high degree of technical overlap with existing businesses;
  • Policy Support and Order Guarantees: Local governments have promoted facility construction through centralized procurement and subsidies, providing enterprises with a stable source of orders.

4. Potential Challenges and Responses
Production transition enterprises need to address issues such as inconsistent standards and uneven quality. For example, some manufacturers, lacking experience in producing medical equipment, result in sampling booths with substandard sealing and disinfection functions. Therefore, enterprises need to strengthen cooperation with medical institutions, improve product certification processes, and enhance competitiveness through technological innovations (such as intelligent temperature control systems).
