Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the market is the growing popularity of saltwater pools. There is a growing preference for saltwater pools due to their reduced need for harsh chemical additives, providing a more comfortable and enjoyable swimming experience with milder water that is gentler on the skin, eyes, and swimwear. This trend aligns with the focus on wellness and fitness, as saltwater pools are often associated with natural healing and offer a more relaxing experience akin to traditional medication processes.
Additionally, they contribute to the creation of relaxation pools and enhance outdoor living spaces. Salt chlorinators, a key component of saltwater pools, help maintain consistent levels of chlorine automatically, reducing the need for frequent manual testing and chemical adjustments. As a result, saltwater pools require less hands-on maintenance and experience fewer fluctuations in water quality, driving their adoption in the market. Despite the higher initial investment of a salt chlorination system, the long-term cost savings compensate for this expense. These factors are positively impacting the market and are expected to drive its growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market is the high growth in the tourism industry. There is an increasing focus by tourist destinations such as resorts, luxury hotels, and vacation properties on providing top-notch amenities to attract travelers seeking relaxation and entertainment. Swimming pools, both indoor and outdoor, have become an essential feature of these accommodations, significantly contributing to the overall guest experience.
Moreover, there is a growing popularity of wellness tourism in the market, which is fuelling the demand. Furthermore, several travelers are constantly seeking destinations that offer opportunities for rejuvenation, exercise, and relaxation, which has encouraged hotels and resorts to heavily invest in expansive spa complexes that often include swimming pools as a primary component. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
High installation and maintenance costs are one of the key challenges hindering market growth. There is a high cost associated with the installation and maintenance costs. Some of the costs associated with swimming pools include regularly changing the water, cleaning the filters, and power consumption by motor pumps. Additionally, the skilled and trained individuals needed to operate swimming pool equipment is another significant cost factor.
Moreover, there is an increasing scarcity of water resources in several countries, such as Yemen, Libya, and Jordan, due to the ecological balance. Therefore, in such countries, the cost of water is extremely high. Therefore, the existing financial weakness and the high initial costs can negatively impact the market, which in turn will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
