Research and Markets: China Sourcing Report: Plumbing & Sanitaryware 2010 - Exports of Faucets and Related Parts, Rose Nearly 90 Percent To $1.5 Billion

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ba2c20/china_sourcing_rep) has announced the addition of the "China Sourcing Report: Plumbing & Sanitaryware 2010" report to their offering.

“China Sourcing Report: Plumbing & Sanitaryware 2010”

China's plumbing and sanitaryware is optimistic that export sales will revert to precrisis levels within the next 12 months. Demand is expected to strengthen as economic recovery takes a firmer hold in North America and the EU, and development continues in emerging markets.

Customs statistics in the first four months of 2010 support the outlook, with year-on-year growth in the revenue of certain categories exceeding 85 percent.

Exports of faucets and related parts, for instance, rose nearly 90 percent to $1.5 billion after the sector saw overseas sales for the whole of 2009 fall 16 percent. If business goes at the same rate for the rest of the year, results may even go beyond 2008 earnings.

To accelerate growth, most suppliers have adopted a two-prong strategy aimed at expanding their customer base overseas, as well as domestically.

The scope of this report includes sinks and basins, faucets, sanitaryware such as toilets, saunas, shower enclosures and tubs, bathroom fixtures and plumbing supplies.

Methodology:

To produce this report, Global Sources surveyed a wide range of suppliers. Rather than focus simply on high-profile makers, we compiled a representative sample of large, midsize and emerging manufacturers. All profiled companies are export-oriented professional suppliers that are verified by Global Sources.

Each supplier is confirmed to be authentic with a legally registered business. All companies are visited 3 or more times to ensure they are export-ready and have real offices and products.

The listed contact person has been verified to represent the registered company. In each case, companies were required to answer specific questions designed to verify their manufacturing and export credentials.

All profiled suppliers participated in a survey designed to provide insight into product and price trends, and challenges facing the industry. All survey questions are single choice. Suppliers are ranked based on a sixstar ranking system. Companies with a higher star ranking provide more business information and verification reports on their Global Sources online homepages.

Suppliers rated 5 or 6 stars have a Credit Check report from First Advantage or Sino-Trust and a Supplier Capability Assessment report provided by Bureau Veritas online. The rankings are correct at the time of publication and may be subject to change.
