In September 2025, as autumn began, Perfina's journey in sanitary ware business development yielded fruitful results in the land of Pakistan, full of potential. Led by Ms. Shoy, Head of Sanitary Ware Business, and joined by Mr. Stephen, the Country Manager in Pakistan, and his local team, a elite market research task force was formed. During an intensive two-week schedule, they delved into two of Pakistan's core cities—the capital Islamabad and the cultural-economic hub Lahore—to conduct an in-depth market research initiative themed "Listen, Insight, Win-Win." This mission not only solidified relationships with existing partners but also clearly charted the future roadmap for Perfina in the Pakistani sanitary ware market.
1. On the Frontline: Visiting Existing Partner Stores, Consolidating the Foundation of Trust
The first stop of the research was Perfina's existing partner stores in Islamabad and Lahore. These stores are the bridgeheads of the Perfina brand in the local market, and their sales data and customer feedback are the most authentic barometer. Shoy, Stephen, and the team were not content with simple data reports; they visited each store in person for face-to-face communication with owners and sales staff.
They meticulously examined the display of various Perfina sanitary ware products, including core bathroom fixtures such as faucets, showers, wash basins, and toilets. Through discussions, the team gained deep insights into which sanitary ware series were most popular with local consumers, and whether their design, functionality, and price positioning met market expectations. For instance, the team discovered that Perfina's thermostatic shower series, which combines water-saving features with modern aesthetics, was in high demand for high-end residential projects. Meanwhile, extremely durable and cost-effective classic basin faucets held a solid position in the broader mass market.
Ms. Shoy stated, "Listening to our partners face-to-face is crucial. They interact directly with end-consumers and have the sharpest perception of trends in sanitary products. Their valuable feedback is the primary source for us to optimize our product portfolio and adjust market strategies." This visit not only brought back detailed market information but also strengthened trust and cooperation with channel partners by addressing practical issues faced by the stores.
2. Exploring New Chapters: Meeting Potential Partners, Expanding Market Reach
While consolidating the existing base, the Perfina team also focused on future growth points. Arranged meticulously by Mr. Stephen, the team intensively met with several potential distributors and large building material supermarkets with strong regional influence. These prospective partners showed keen interest in the Perfina brand, particularly expressing strong agreement with Perfina's philosophy of "high-quality, high-experience, and exceptional cost-effectiveness" for sanitary ware.
During a key business meeting in Lahore, Ms. Shoy have introduced Perfina's brand story, R&D capabilities, and stringent quality control system to the potential partners. She emphasized, "Perfina firmly believes that excellent sanitary ware should not be a luxury for the few. Through innovative design, lean manufacturing, and efficient supply chains, we bring high-end bathroom experiences to more households in Pakistan at more accessible prices." This presentation resonated strongly with the influential businesses present, with several expressing clear intentions to cooperate, laying a solid foundation for the next phase of Perfina's channel network expansion in Pakistan.
3. Insights and Analysis: Immense Potential in the Pakistan Sanitary Ware Market
Through two weeks of field visits, data collection, and competitor analysis, the Perfina team developed a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the Pakistani sanitary ware market.
Firstly, with the acceleration of urbanization and the rise of the middle class in Pakistan, demand for high-quality living environments is growing explosively. As a core component of the home environment, the need to upgrade bathroom spaces directly drives sales of mid-to-high-end sanitary products. The market is no longer satisfied with basic functions but demands better design, durability, and water-saving, eco-friendly features.
Secondly, the local market is open and welcoming to international brands but remains price-sensitive. This aligns perfectly with Perfina's strategic positioning. The sanitary ware products offered by Perfina keep pace with global trends in design, meet international quality standards, yet possess significant advantages in cost control, offering consumers a "value-for-money" choice.
Mr. Stephen analyzed, "Pakistan is a dynamic, young nation with continuous growth in infrastructure and real estate projects. Our research confirms that the sanitary ware market here is far from saturated, and the competitive landscape is not yet solidified. This presents tremendous opportunities for brands like Perfina that possess strong product capabilities and flexibility."
4. Reaffirming Future Direction: Consistently Providing High-Quality, High-Experience, and Affordable Sanitary Ware
This trip to Pakistan was not only a successful market validation but also a firm strategic declaration. All the information gathered—from sales data at partner stores to direct feedback from end-consumers, and competitor dynamics—clearly points to the same conclusion: the path Perfina has adhered to is correct.
Based on the findings of this research, the Perfina team has further clarified its future business direction in Pakistan:
1. Deepened Product Strategy: Continue to expand competitive product lines, developing more durable faucet cartridges tailored to local water conditions, and designing bathroom fixtures that better align with local customs and usage habits.
2. Optimized Channel Development: While maintaining strong relationships with existing core distributors, actively recruit high-quality new partners and explore possibilities for direct collaboration with large real estate developers to enter the project procurement channel.
3. Enhanced Brand and Service: Strengthen localized marketing support and after-sales service system development, ensuring every consumer who chooses Perfina sanitary ware can do so with peace of mind.
