Public Convenience Buildings Market Report 2025

The public convenience buildings market size has grown marginally in recent years. It will grow from $60.51 billion in 2024 to $60.83 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to population growth and urbanization, tourism and recreational activities, government initiatives and regulations, event hosting and public gatherings, public health, and sanitation concerns.

The public convenience buildings market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $66.23 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainable and accessible design, smart infrastructure integration, public space planning, health, and well-being focus, increasing tourism and events. Major trends in the forecast period include hygiene and sanitation solutions, gender-inclusive facilities, art and aesthetics, energy-efficient lighting, modular and prefabricated construction, smart waste management.

The forecast of 2.1% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to affect US municipal projects by reducing sanitary fixture availability, sourced from specialized producers in Spain and Malaysia, could increase costs for restroom facilities and public spaces. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The increase in government initiatives is anticipated to drive the growth of the public convenience building market in the future. Various government efforts are being implemented in this sector to provide hygienic sanitation facilities and enhance public awareness of proper sanitation practices. For example, in June 2024, the New York City government launched the "Ur In Luck" initiative to improve access to public restrooms across all five boroughs. Over the next five years, NYC Parks plans to construct 46 new restrooms and renovate 36 existing ones to enhance accessibility and efficiency. These facilities will be spread across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Additionally, a new layer on Google Maps will assist New Yorkers in easily locating public restrooms throughout the city. Consequently, the rise in government initiatives is fueling growth in the public convenience building market.

The expected growth in the public convenience buildings market is also attributed to the increasing construction spending in urban areas. Urban development projects involve significant expenses, covering various construction-related aspects such as labor, materials, and infrastructure. As urban areas expand and populations rise, the demand for additional public convenience buildings, serving residents and visitors, becomes essential. According to a recent statistical report by the United States Census Bureau in March 2023, total construction spending in the United States increased from approximately $1.5 trillion in 2020 to $1.7 trillion in 2022, indicating a 16% growth. Consequently, the escalating construction spending in urban areas contributes to the growth of the public convenience buildings market during the forecast period.

Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend gaining traction in the public convenience building market. Major companies in this sector are embracing new technologies to enhance their market position. For instance, in December 2022, SmithGroup, an integrated architectural, engineering, and planning firm based in the US, introduced its design for AmeniPODS in San Francisco, featuring modeled stainless-steel surfaces and innovative technology to provide a cleaner, safer, and more hygienic experience.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the construction sector, particularly in the areas of material procurement and overall project expenses. Increased duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have raised costs for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, resulting in higher project bids and delays in execution. Manufacturers of construction equipment are also facing challenges, as tariffs on key components and raw materials are driving up production costs and compressing profit margins. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs from major export markets have reduced demand for U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, putting additional pressure on revenue streams. In response, the sector is increasingly focusing on local sourcing, adopting modular construction methods, and diversifying supply chains to better manage rising costs and maintain project feasibility amid ongoing trade instability.
