Previously Kitchen News published “Exportovať | Analysis of the main competitors in the European shower tray market, with few manufacturers and many brands”. In the European market, there are currently four main factories producing, Marmite, Acquabella, McBath and F&D. The largest of these is Marmite in Poland.

In just ten years, sprchové vaničky vyrobené zo syntetických materiálov ako akryl a živica obsadili väčšinu francúzskeho trhu, with the market for shower trays made of ceramic and cast iron shrinking. Due to the lack of sanitary ceramics and stone factories in France, výrobky z príbuzných materiálov sú sústredené v regióne južnej Európy. V dôsledku, sanitárna keramika vyrobená zo syntetických materiálov od akrylu po PVC zaplavuje miestny trh. Len Španielsko má desiatky tovární, z ktorých väčšina je orientovaná na export, vrátane sprchových kútov, nábytok, iní inštalatéri kúpeľní, atď.
