Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are affecting the bathtub market by increasing the import costs of raw materials such as acrylic sheets, cast iron, steel, fiberglass, and plumbing fittings, resulting in higher manufacturing and retail prices across freestanding, alcove, and drop-in bathtub categories. Regions dependent on imported materials, particularly North America and Europe, face the most significant pricing pressure, slowing adoption in both residential and commercial renovation projects. However, tariffs can support domestic bathtub manufacturers by reducing international competition and encouraging localized supply chains and advanced production capabilities. Overall, tariffs elevate short-term input costs yet promote long-term regional industry growth.

A bathtub is a large vessel designed to hold water, allowing an individual to bathe. Typically found in bathrooms either as a standalone fixture or combined with a shower, modern bathtubs are commonly constructed using materials such as fiberglass, acrylic, ceramic, steel, cast iron, and occasionally waterproof wood. They often feature a drain for wastewater and come equipped with a faucet. While traditional bathtubs were primarily rectangular in shape, the evolution of acrylic thermoformed variants has introduced a wider array of shapes available in the market.

The primary types of bathtubs include acrylic, cast iron, and fiberglass variants.

Due to its inherent flexibility and malleability, acrylic allows for a diverse range of bathtub shapes and sizes.
