Diversified Application Scenarios

• Large-scale Events and Scenic Spots: With an increase in various exhibitions, sports events, and a growth in tourist numbers at scenic spots, the demand for mobile toilets has surged. For instance, in the first half of 2025 in Xining, there were 12 large-scale events, with an average demand of 10 - 20 mobile toilets per event. During the peak season, scenic spots such as Qinghai Lake and Ta'er Temple face a significant shortage of temporary facilities.

• Commercial Real Estate: Some shopping malls lease mobile toilets during night promotions or temporary markets to enhance service quality.
• Emergency Relief and Disaster Response: At disaster relief sites, mobile toilets play a crucial role. For example, after heavy rains in some areas of Qinghai in 2025, they became important facilities for disaster relief.
• Other Scenarios:细分场景 (Sub-scenarios) such as home-based elderly care renovations, outdoor camping, and RV travel have generated stable demand, with the market penetration rate of portable toilets increasing year by year.

Regional Demand Differences

The eastern coastal regions, with high urbanization levels and well-developed public facilities, are the most extensive application areas for eco-friendly mobile toilets, accounting for over 40% of the market demand in 2024. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong are the main growth engines. The central and western regions have seen significant market growth. Provinces such as Sichuan, Yunnan, and Gansu have increased investment in toilet renovations in rural areas and scenic spots under the guidance of the toilet revolution policy, driving the rapid popularization of eco-friendly mobile toilets.

Different Product Type Demands

Water-saving and waterless eco-toilets dominate the market. In 2024, water-saving eco-toilets accounted for about 58% of the market share and are suitable for places like urban parks and schools. Waterless eco-toilets, which do not require connection to water supply and drainage systems, are increasingly widely used in remote areas, nature reserves, and temporary construction sites, with a market share close to 35% in 2024.
