Leading the intelligent toilet industry

Using voice assistance and smart lighting instead of flipping a light switch is common everywhere in a smart home. Products working together through voice activation, apps, or other technology also work seamlessly in the bathroom and toileting space.

Intelligent toilets evolved from bidet seats in the early 1980s to full fledged automated technology wonders today. The global intelligent toilet market is estimated to grow to USD12.7 billion by 2025, reflecting end users’ interest in cleanliness, hygiene, and innovation.
