The milestone reflects a global shift toward higher standards of hygiene, comfort and wellness. While overall demand continues to grow worldwide, India has emerged as one of TOTO’s fastest-growing markets. Over the past three years, TOTO India has doubled its WASHLET sales, driven by changing consumer preferences following the pandemic. Indian homeowners are increasingly prioritising cleaner, safer and more premium bathroom experiences, reinforcing the company’s long-term focus on the market.

Commenting on the development, Shiozawa Kazuyuki, Managing Director, TOTO India, said, “In past few years, we have observed phenomenal growth in the WASHLET segment in India, where hygiene standards have become a key priority. Our sales figures reflect the rising demand for premium bathroom solutions. The past three years have been transformative, and we look forward to expanding our presence further with a strong focus on hygiene and wellness.”

Beyond product development, TOTO is expanding its global service capabilities through initiatives such as the World Service Masters programme.
