1. Overview: From Hidden Champion to Global Leader

 

For decades, Xiamen has quietly evolved from an "invisible champion" in OEM/ODM manufacturing to a world-leading hub for kitchen and bathroom innovation.


This southeastern Chinese city is now recognized as the "hidden empire of bathroom manufacturing", commanding:

  • No. 1 in China for faucet, toilet seat cover, and flexible hose exports
  • 70% share of the North American market
  • Over 9,000 supporting enterprises in its ecosystem
  • Global partnerships with top-tier brands

 

In short - "No Xiamen OEM, No Global Brand." This phrase has become an industry truth, reflecting Xiamen's dominance across the global kitchen and bathroom supply chain.

 

2. The Strength of Xiamen's Kitchen & Bathroom Cluster

 

According to the Xiamen Kitchen & Bath Association, the city has built a deeply integrated industrial ecosystem over 30 years, characterized by:

 

Indicator Data Significance
Local Supporting Enterprises 9,000+ Full industry chain coverage
Local Supply Rate 67% Strong ecosystem efficiency
Listed Sanitary Ware Companies 4 out of 7 in China Concentrated corporate strength
Export Countries & Regions 180+ Global market coverage

 

These numbers show not just scale-but depth, collaboration, and innovation across the ecosystem.

 

 

3. Global Market Dominance & Export Power

 

Xiamen's kitchen and bathroom manufacturers serve nearly every major international brand, offering OEM and ODM services across faucets, smart toilets, bidet seats, hoses, and water filtration systems.

 

The city holds:

  • No.1 national ranking in high-end faucet exports
  • No.1 in toilet cover and soft hose exports
  • Products delivered to over 180 countries, from the U.S. and Europe to the Middle East and Oceania

 

This strong export foundation has positioned Xiamen as a key link in the world's home and sanitary product supply chain.

 

4. The Secret Behind Xiamen's ODM Success

 

So what makes Xiamen's manufacturers stand out in a competitive global market?
It's not just production-it's deep integration of R&D, automation, and design innovation.

  •  Advanced R&D Commitment

 

Companies like Xiamen Smart Water Technology Co., Ltd. invest over 10% of annual revenue in R&D-double the industry average.
This focus drives continuous product improvement, new patent development, and next-generation water system innovation.

 

Company Annual R&D Investment Distinctive Strength
Xiamen Smart Water Tech >10% of Revenue Advanced under-sink water systems, ODM innovation
Solux / R&T 6–8% Smart toilet & seat cover design
Wediya / Joyou 5% Faucet & bathroom hardware automation

 

This R&D intensity builds a "technology moat"-a protective wall that deters imitation and ensures sustained brand value.

 

5. Smart Manufacturing & Technological Innovation

 

One shining example of Xiamen's industrial power is JOMOO's "Dark Factory", the world's largest single-site smart toilet production base.

Here's what "smart manufacturing" looks like:

  • 100% automation in key production processes
  • One smart toilet produced every 6 seconds
  • 99.6% yield rate (+6.6% higher than industry average)
  • 45% higher logistics efficiency
  • Reduced workforce by 100 employees with doubled output

 

This kind of operational excellence ensures:
✅ Consistent product quality
✅ Lower production costs
✅ Reliable, on-time delivery

That's why global high-end bathroom brands rely on Xiamen as their ODM manufacturing base.
