Ideal Standard Digital Marketing Launch Plan
A New Standard of Bathroom Excellence for Malaysia
An exclusive partnership bringing world-class design and innovation to the Malaysian market.
The Vision for Malaysia
This section outlines the significant market opportunity in Malaysia and our clear vision to establish Ideal Standard as the premier bathroom brand. We're tapping into a growing demand for premium products, aligning with modern design trends to lead the market.
Premium Demand
A growing demand for premium and luxury home products from discerning consumers, with the luxury interior market in Malaysia expected to grow by 8% annually.
Strong Property Market
A robust property market with sophisticated buyers seeking quality and style, particularly in high-rise residential projects in urban centers like Kuala Lumpur and Penang.
Aligned Design Trends
Trends like biophilic design, sustainability, and Japandi minimalism match Ideal Standard's philosophy, making the brand immediately relevant to modern design conversations.
Our Target Audience
