StarCraft, a U.S. remodeling website, has published the most valuable faucet brands (non-commercial) in the U.S. market for 2019, and outstanding suppliers such as Rubinet have also received praise. The site sifted through 250 faucet brands, including luxury faucets and mid-priced faucets from continents other than Asia, noting that while there are several well-known and very valuable luxury faucet manufacturers in Asia, none of them are sold in the U.S. or Canada. And some of the faucet brands we know of at the high end of the Chinese market are positioned differently in the U.S. market, such as TOTO listed as a mid-priced faucet brand.

How does the U.S. local faucet brand is viewed? This article should be helpful to understand the U.S. market faucet brand situation.
