Xining Public Mobile Toilets
The situation of public mobile toilets in Xining is as follows:
Government Installation and Management
The Xining Urban Management Bureau has installed 17 public toilets in high-traffic areas such as popular tourist spots and night market peripheries, in line with urban construction and commercial development. Additionally, 11 mobile environmental protection toilets have been reserved for major festival and event support. In terms of management, the "Xining Public Toilet Management and Service Standards" are implemented, with a system of "dedicated personnel for maintenance and immediate cleaning upon contamination" enforced. Daily comprehensive cleaning, disinfection, and ventilation are carried out. An additional 33 toilets have been made available 24 hours a day or have extended opening hours, bringing the total number of night-open toilets in the city to 226. Supporting systems for equipment maintenance and safety management have been simultaneously improved, management files have been enhanced, and a rapid maintenance mechanism has been established. Furthermore, in accordance with the requirement of "two to four directional signs per toilet", the toilet guidance sign system has been comprehensively upgraded, with 105 toilet directional signs updated. A "online + offline" dual-channel guidance model has been adopted to improve the convenience for citizens and tourists in finding toilets.
Market Situation
In recent years, there has been an increase in exhibitions, sports events, and other activities in Xining. In the first half of 2025, there will be 12 large-scale events, with an average demand of 10-20 mobile toilets per event. The growth in tourist numbers at scenic spots has also led to a significant shortage of temporary facilities during peak seasons. The market size for mobile toilets in Xining was approximately 8 million yuan in 2024 and is expected to exceed 12 million yuan by 2026. Their application scenarios have expanded from traditional large-scale event support to areas such as subway construction, road renovation, night promotions in commercial real estate, and emergency disaster relief. The industry is experiencing trends of intelligent upgrading and the application of environmentally friendly materials. Products with sensor-based flushing and deodorization systems are more popular. Some companies are exploring the use of the Internet of Things to monitor usage status, and the research and development of degradable toilet fixtures and water-saving equipment have enhanced product sustainability.
Product Features and Sales
Mobile toilets offer advantages such as high mobility, diverse treatment methods, a small footprint, and a lightweight external structure. Their internal configurations are superior to those of ordinary fixed toilets. They can be classified by structural form into single-unit and composite-structure mobile toilets; by mobility into hoisting/transportable and powered/trailer-mounted mobile toilets; and by sewage treatment method into waterless packing, ordinary water flushing, and other types. There are merchants selling mobile toilets in Xining, such as Qinghai Shiteng Metal Products Co., Ltd., which offers customizable products with prices varying according to order quantity.
Intelligent Development
Five intelligent public toilets have been constructed and put into use in Chengxi District, Xining, located in densely populated urban areas such as Jiaotong South Lane and Yanhu Lane. These intelligent public toilets are equipped with usage status indicators, automatic cleaning robots, and employ high-purity foam deodorization technology. They are also fitted with integrated handwashing stations and sensor-based automatic soap dispensers, allowing for hands-free operation throughout the entire process.
