Not only foreign companies, but domestic bathroom companies have also been willing to invest in emerging markets in recent years.

Judging from the actions of various sanitary companies, there are two main considerations in the construction of factories around the country. On the one hand, due to the increasing cost of raw materials, energy, and employment, bathroom companies can reduce production costs by building factories at low economic levels. On the other hand, many enterprises have chosen to invest in the construction of factories in emerging countries through market factors, and adopt the operating model of the "front shop and rear factory" to reduce transportation costs and increase supply speed. , Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and other countries have attracted foreign investment.
