Current Status of Mobile Toilets in the Market

The current market for mobile toilets is experiencing growth in scale, diversified demand, a rich variety of products, regional concentration, and a transition towards intelligence and environmental friendliness.

Market Size and Growth: In 2024, the market size of mobile toilets in China reached 58.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.3%. It is expected to expand to 67.8 billion yuan in 2025, with the growth rate rising to 15.5%. In regional markets, Xining had a market size of approximately 8 million yuan in 2024, and it is projected to exceed 12 million yuan by 2026, indicating growth potential in the central and western regions.

Diversified Market Demand:

1. Event and Scenic Spot Demand: The increase in large-scale events such as exhibitions and sports competitions, along with the growth in tourist numbers at scenic spots, has driven demand for temporary sanitation facilities. For example, in the first half of 2025, Xining hosted 12 large-scale events, with an average demand of 10-20 mobile toilets per event. During peak seasons, scenic spots like Qinghai Lake and Ta'er Temple face significant shortages of facilities.
2. Demand in Other Scenarios: In urban construction (such as subway construction and road renovation), commercial real estate (night promotions or temporary markets), and emergency relief scenarios, mobile toilets have become important supporting facilities due to their flexible deployment characteristics.

Product Classification and Characteristics:

1. Domestic Basic Categories: The dominant product is the simple portable toilet (Easy toilet), which is molded from PE environmentally friendly plastic in one piece. It relies on disposable waste bags to collect excreta, weighs only 1.5-3 kg, and offers the best portability, focusing on cost-effectiveness. There are also packaged and self-contained freshwater and wastewater models that form a price gradient.
2. Overseas High-End Categories: Derived products include vehicle-mounted pull-out, healthcare barrier-free, and biodegradable environmentally friendly models, among others, with significant functional differences suitable for special scenarios.

Regional Distribution Characteristics: The eastern and southern regions have become the main application areas due to their economic vitality and large population flows. The central and western regions are catching up with urbanization and rural revitalization. In the national market, the eastern and northern regions together account for nearly 45%, with Jiangsu Province, Shandong Province, and Beijing showing prominent demand.

Development Trends:

1. Intelligent Upgrades: Sensor-based flushing and deodorization systems are becoming widespread. Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring of usage status, automatic cleaning, and energy consumption management functions are becoming standard features in high-end products.
2. Environmental Transformation: The research and development of biodegradable toilet fixtures and water-saving equipment are accelerating. Modular design and biodegradation systems are driving products towards a green and low-carbon direction, in line with sustainable development requirements.
