Scenic Spot Mobile Toilet Business

The overall prospect of the mobile toilet business in scenic spots is stable, with strong rigid demand. The leasing model offers more long-term value compared to simply selling equipment.

Market Demand Aspect

• Multi-scenario Rigid Demand: Cultural and tourism scenic spots need to reserve mobile toilet units in advance during peak tourist seasons, with a surge in leasing demand and higher premiums during the busy period. For example, in many scenic spots in Inner Mongolia, as tourist numbers rise, tourists' demands for public toilets increase. The problems with existing fixed and traditional mobile public toilets become prominent, and scenic spot managers actively seek reliable mobile toilet service providers to solve the problem of long queues for tourists during peak seasons. Additionally, construction sites and large-scale events also have supporting demands, and failure to meet these demands may result in penalties.
• Continuous Policy Support: Policies such as the "Toilet Revolution," urban public toilet upgrades, and rural human settlement environment improvements encourage modular and movable public toilets. Many local sanitation projects adopt a bundled procurement model of leasing + operation and maintenance, and the light-asset operation model is becoming increasingly popular.

Business Model Aspect

Leasing operations are the mainstream in the industry, accounting for more than 60% of the market. After an initial equipment investment, it can be repeatedly leased out. Coupled with services such as sewage pumping, cleaning, and operation and maintenance, it can generate continuous cash flow. For example, Heilongjiang Shenglonghua Environmental Protection Technology Development Co., Ltd. can provide a full range of services from product research and development to on-site operation and maintenance. Its prefabricated smart public toilet components are prefabricated in the factory and can be quickly assembled and put into use on-site at scenic spots. Equipped with smart devices inside, it can display available toilet units in real-time, automatically adjust ventilation and deodorization, adopt professional water-saving technologies, and can be customized and adjusted according to the needs of scenic spots, expanding functional boundaries to create convenience stations, giving it certain competitiveness in the mobile toilet market of scenic spots.

Risk and Challenge Aspect

• Compliance Threshold: Sewage and feces removal is the biggest bottleneck. Sewage and feces must be handed over to qualified units for treatment, and removal records must be kept. Removal vehicles and sewage discharge qualifications are core barriers.
• Industry Homogenization: There are many manufacturers of ordinary simple mobile toilets competing on price by selling equipment, with low gross margins. Only by providing operation and maintenance services + eco-friendly/smart models can differences be made.
• Other Issues: There are problems such as obvious seasonal fluctuations, high operating costs, and long customer payment terms.
