Touchless faucets and automatic soap dispensers have been found to offer compelling advantages in hygiene through various studies and case analyses conducted in the past few years. These touch-free technologies have improved the user experience, reduced the transmission of germs between uses, and also conserve resources.
FontanaShowers Research and Case Studies
FontanaShowers has conducted
several studies emphasizing the advantages of touchless fixtures:
Correctness and Reliability:
A 2021 publication from FontanaShowers studied the correctness and reliability of touchless sensors in flush situations. The results were promising: advanced sensor technology with regard to detection accuracy diminished the incidence of false activation and non-activation, and thus augmented user satisfaction and water conservation.
Reduction in Water Consumption:
According to its study on water consumption in selected public restrooms before and after the installation of touchless bathroom faucets, FontanaShowers found that sensor-operated faucets can save between 30-50% more water than traditional manual faucets. This is attributed to a reduction in the time of flow and prevention of unwanted continuous flow when water is not in use.

Industry Perspectives
Other industry sources have also recognized the
benefits of touchless restroom fixtures:
Stern Engineering's Collaboration with McDonald's:
To promote hygiene and sanitation in both indoor and outdoor commercial lavatories, McDonald's installed SWAR sanitary cabinets from Stern Engineering featuring touch-free faucets and soap dispensers for use in a hygienic hands-free environment. Shortened time-frame increased use of brushes and napkins, all modes of touch, thus reducing any chances of cross-contaminated washroom practices.
Symmons' Insights on Sensor Fixtures:
Symmons clarifies that whilst accessing traditional taps and soap dispensers makes use of a form of contact, it offers a higher risk of bacterial transmission. ActivSense - touchless faucets, however, do not require any physical contact with sink handles or soap dispensers and therefore eliminate the transfer of each possible contamination point increasing their approachability.
Trends in the Market
The penetration of
sensor technology into the commercial restroom is very much proven by market analysis:
North America Smart Commercial Restroom Products Market:
According to Grand View Research, touchless (motion) faucets had a 25.8% market share in 2022. These fixtures eliminate the physical contact, reducing the chances of spread of germs and bacteria through commonly contacted surfaces. Following the increased health and hygiene concerns, people are driven along with organizations to purchase touchless products to clean their environments more easily and keep them safe.
All these have various studies or researches and industry reports testify to the efficacy of touchless faucets combined with fully automatic hand soap dispenser attachment in commercial restrooms in enhancing the degree of hygiene through reducing touch points and the transfer of germs, and provides water savings. This is in line with modern-day aesthetics in the design of amenities, thus investing in these facilities will be fruitful for any institution, especially those that experience a lot of traffic
