Prospects for Mobile Toilet Rental

The prospects for mobile toilet rental are generally stable, showing a continuous growth trend, primarily driven by policy support, multi-scenario demand, and industry trends.

Strong Policy Support

Policies such as the "Toilet Revolution," urban public toilet upgrades, and rural living environment improvements provide strong support for the mobile toilet rental industry. Policies encourage the adoption of modular and movable public toilets, with penalties for construction sites and large events that do not provide mobile toilets. At the same time, many local sanitation projects adopt a bundled procurement model of rental + operation and maintenance, with the asset-light operation model becoming increasingly popular, providing more business opportunities and market space for mobile toilet rental companies.

Robust Demand Across Multiple Scenarios

• Construction Sites: Regulations mandate that construction sites must be equipped with temporary toilets, making construction sites long-term and stable customers for mobile toilet rentals, typically rented on a monthly basis with stable payments.
• Cultural and Tourism Scenarios and Events: During peak seasons, cultural and tourism attractions, camping sites, music festivals, marathons, and festivals see explosive growth in demand for mobile toilets, which are rented on a short-term basis with higher premiums. During peak tourism periods, there is also a requirement to pre-stock mobile toilet units to meet the needs of a large number of tourists.
• Municipal Emergencies: Scenarios such as urban renovations, temporary gatherings, flood control and disaster relief, and rural markets involve numerous government procurement or service purchase projects, providing new markets for mobile toilet rentals.
• Special Regions: In areas without sewer networks, such as mines, wilderness projects, and remote villages, ecological mobile toilets (e.g., microbial degradation, packing-type) are highly popular due to their advantage of not requiring connection to sewer systems. Taking Hebei Province as an example, with the acceleration of urbanization and increased demand for outdoor activities, the average daily reception volume of outdoor activities in Hebei Province exceeded 100,000 person-times in 2025, driving a year-on-year increase in demand for mobile toilet rentals of approximately 15%.

Favorable Industry Trends

• Product Upgrades: Traditional simple plastic toilets have thin profit margins, with eco-friendly, intelligent, and high-end products such as solar-powered, waterless ecological, foam-sealing, and IoT-monitored toilets becoming the trend.
• Service Optimization: Several places in Hebei have piloted solar-powered toilets, achieving energy self-sufficiency through photovoltaic panels; the application of IoT technology enables remote monitoring of equipment status, reducing fault response time to within 2 hours; customized services have become a new direction, such as designing themed toilets for tourist attractions, combining commercial elements with practical functions to enhance the user experience.

Continuously Expanding Market Size

In 2024, the market size of China's mobile toilet industry reached 12 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15% from 2023; it is expected that in 2025, the market size of China's mobile toilet industry will continue to grow, reaching approximately 13.8 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 15%.
