Swimming pool equipment is a broad market that involves various equipment and service needs for building and maintaining residential and commercial swimming pools. This includes pool pumps, filters, cleaning systems, lighting, heating solutions, and covers. Market demand for recreational facilities have increased in tandem with residential construction and tourism, thus leading to the market’s growth.

 

Market Drivers

Increasing Residential and Commercial Construction: Trends such as increasing levels of urbanization, and growing disposable income have played a big role in developing homes and business facilities that include swimming pools across the globe.  The construction market internationally expanded to 8% in 2023, with a large chunk of investment being used in luxury residential and hospitality buildings equipped with swimming pools. Example: In 2023, a luxurious residential complex of houses in California desired energy-efficient pool systems, which triggered demand for sophisticated pool equipment in the area.

 

Growing Demand for Pool Maintenance and Hygiene: The influence of COVID-19 gave much emphasis to hygiene and safety, which made advanced filtration, sanitation, and cleaning in swimming pools more popular. Example: A European company for pool care noticed that sales of automatic pool cleaners rose by twenty percent in 2023.

 

Technological Advancements in Pool Equipment: Modernization in pool equipment includes IoT smart systems for pools, efficient water pumps, and UV sanitization to improve the attractiveness of a modern pool system. Example: In 2023, a Japanese firm launched an AI system to monitor and manage swimming pools, cutting costs for commercial pool owners and managers by 15%.

 

Expansion of Tourism and Hospitality Industries: Swimming pools are an essential component of luxury resorts, hotels, spas, and more. Global tourism stood at USD 1.3 trillion in 2023, with luxury hospitality fueling the need for innovative swimming pool solutions.

 

Market Opportunities

Implemented energy-efficient and sustainable solutions: Rising environmental consciousness and stringent rules for sustainability led to the use of solar heaters, energy-efficient pumps, and green cleaning systems. Example: The following year, in 2022, a resort in South Africa adopted solar pool heating, which cut energy use by 40%.

 

Rising Demand for Smart Pool Systems: Systems that require a connection to the internet to monitor, set maintenance time, and adjust the chemical dosage are becoming common and appealing to smart consumers. For example, a North American-based manufacturer of pool equipment released an app-connected smart pool system in 2023, which improved its sales by 25%.

 

Growth in Emerging Markets: Rapid urbanization and growing discrete income in emerging countries like India and Brazil and South East Asian countries open up vast opportunities for players involved in the production and manufacturing of pool equipment. Example: In 2023 an Indian construction firm entered into a tie-up deal with a global pool equipment supplier for including luxury pools in the construction of the new generation projects of the company.

 

Market Restraints

High Initial Investment and Maintenance Costs: Pools and equipment involved in their installation are relatively costly, reducing the feasibility of erecting them within the middle-income bracket segment.

 

Seasonal Demand Variations: Swimming pool equipment is a seasonal product, and certain components in specific climates are only in high demand during the summer months, influencing sales steadiness.

 

Water Scarcity and Environmental Concerns: The emphasis on water saving in provinces where drought commonly affects pool construction and service hence the equipment market.
