Swimming Pool Treatment Chemicals Market Overview

The global swimming pool treatment chemicals market was valued at 1,061.43 million in 2021 and is projected to reach 1,353.1 million by 2030 at a CAGR of 2.74%. In terms of volume, the global market was sized at 708.67 kilotons in 2021 and is expected to register a CAGR of 2.00% to reach 843.8 kilotons by the end of the assessment period.

The growth of the global swimming pool treatment chemicals market is driven by the growing popularity of swimming as a sport and recreational activity worldwide. Swimming is considered an excellent workout activity as it reduces stress, builds endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular fitness, tones muscles, and helps maintain a healthy weight, heart, and lungs, resulting in increased spending on the construction of private swimming pools. Moreover, the increase in residential construction has resulted in increased construction of new swimming pools, fueling the demand for swimming pool treatment chemicals at a significant rate globally, particularly in the US.

 COVID-19 Impact on the SWIMMING POOL TREATMENT CHEMICALS   Market:

The COVID-19 pandemic, which began spreading worldwide in late 2019, has had a significant impact on several businesses. Restaurants were understaffed and had to close early. As more individuals began working remotely and relocating and the housing market exploded. The pool business was not immune to the damage. Pool companies continued working and servicing their clients' pools during the pandemic. Due to supply limitations, however, completing new construction and equipment repairs constituted a unique task. The desire to build a pool or renovate an existing one has exploded as more people spend more time at home. This is especially true for families looking to sell their homes, as a well-kept pool in the backyard can help increase the overall value. The pool business rose by 24% in the year 2020, according to the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance.

Pool businesses have been consuming more resources as demand increases, resulting in a supply shortfall. Typically, this is not an issue as pool equipment manufacturers produce a surplus and store it in warehouses until it is required. This technique helps to compensate for the constantly shifting supply and demand balance. With parents working from home and children studying at home, the backyard pool has become a popular place to unwind and relax. In 2020, there was an increase in the number of Americans who opened their pools early. Pools opened as early as April in colder areas, while individuals began utilizing their pools as early as March in warmer climates, such as in the city of Dallas. Longer pool seasons result in higher demand for chlorine and replacement equipment like heaters. Pool heaters and chlorine are both in short supply as a result of the increasing demand.

Market Dynamics

• Growing popularity of swimming as a recreational activity: Swimming has become a renowned sport and a popular recreational activity across various regions, particularly developed countries. Competitive swimming has gained popularity as an Olympic game. Many people are opting for swimming, which consequently has increased the construction of swimming pools. Besides, swimming has also become a popular recreational activity among the population of all ages, as it is a low-impact workout. Swimming helps reduce stress, builds endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular fitness, and tones muscles. These benefits associated with sport have increased spending on the construction of private swimming pools.

• Growing preference for natural swimming pools: Swimming pool owners are shifting to alternatives such as ionization and UV light therapy as a result of the health risks linked with chlorine use. Furthermore, the growing trend in developed countries to build organic or natural swimming pools that employ a natural filtration method to purify the water instead of chlorine is likely to hinder the worldwide market growth.

• Growing interest in water leisure and sports activities in the developing markets: The fitness industry landscape in developing countries, particularly India, China, Thailand, and Indonesia, has changed with an increase in the spending on fitness and recreational activities coupled with the rising health consciousness. In 2018, according to the International Health, Racquet, & Sportsclub Association, the fitness industry in Asia-Pacific was valued at around USD 16.8 billion. Fitness enthusiasts increasingly prefer swimming to maintain their fitness. This trend, particularly in the developing regions, is increasing the construction of swimming pools, which is expected to surface growth opportunities for market players to venture into these regions. Moreover, the growing enthusiasm for water leisure and sports activities in millennials to remain physically fit on account of increasing health consciousness and changing lifestyles are likely to result in investment in the construction of swimming pools.

• High maintenance costs and scarcity of water: The high cost associated with the maintenance of swimming pools is a major issue. Most house and condominium owners find it resilient to install a swimming pool due to the high maintenance cost. The scarcity of water also restricts the construction of new swimming pools globally. According to a member of a leading swimming pool and spa association, the pool market in India is very different from the rest of the world as the country has around 200 water parks and many commercial pools but very few private constructions.
