Kings Research has released its latest market research report, “Global Swimming Pool Equipment Market: Size, Share, Trends & Forecast 2024–2031.” The report covers market analysis, technology, regional trends and key players, distribution channels, and applications to help you understand the opportunities and make informed decisions.
According to Kings Research, the global Swimming Pool Equipment Market was valued at USD 13.81 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 19.15 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.25% from 2024 to 2031. This is driven by increasing residential and commercial pool installations, rising disposable income, and the adoption of automated and energy-efficient pool equipment. Also, the growing hotel and resort industry in emerging markets and urban development projects is driving the demand for pool infrastructure and maintenance equipment.
Swimming pool equipment includes devices and systems required for pool operation, maintenance, and user comfort. This includes pumps, filters, heaters, cleaners, sanitation systems, lighting, and automation solutions. Modern pool equipment not only ensures hygiene and water safety but also energy efficiency, user convenience, and overall pool experience. The market has seen significant innovation with smart pool technologies and IoT-enabled equipment, allowing real-time monitoring, remote control, and predictive maintenance.
Some of the key trends in the swimming pool equipment market highlighted by Kings Research are:
- Residential Pool Expansion
Increasing disposable income and urban lifestyle upgrades in North America are driving residential pool demand. Homeowners are investing in high-quality pool equipment for water safety, energy efficiency, and convenience. For example, there are over 8.5 million residential pools in the US, with over 200,000 new pools built each year. ENERGY STAR-certified pool pumps are becoming more common, saving up to ~20% for in-ground pumps and ~11% for above-ground pumps compared to standard models. (Source: https://www.energystar.gov/)
- Smart Pool Technology Integration
Automated pool cleaners, IoT-enabled pumps, and remotely controlled filtration systems are popular. Smart equipment offers real-time monitoring, energy savings, and better water quality. Research (e.g. Universidad de León) shows that integrating smart sensors and solar thermal management can optimise pool heating, adjusting to real-time conditions.
- Hotel, Resort, and Commercial Pool Investments
The growth of luxury hospitality and recreational infrastructure in APAC, the Middle East, and Europe is driving demand for commercial-grade swimming pool equipment. Hotels and resorts are installing high-performance pumps, advanced sanitation systems, and smart control devices to meet guest expectations.
- Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
Rising energy costs and environmental awareness are driving demand for energy-efficient pool pumps, heaters, and filtration systems. For example, in Australia, a 5-star variable speed pool pump uses ~55% less energy than a 1-star single speed pump (Source: https://www.energy.gov.au/).
- E-Commerce and Distribution Expansion
Online retail channels are making advanced pool equipment more accessible, especially in emerging markets. Manufacturers and distributors are using e-commerce platforms to reach a broader customer base and offer installation guidance, maintenance support, and after-sales service.
For pool equipment manufacturers, distributors, and hospitality operators, the swimming pool equipment market offers:
- Better Efficiency and Performance: Advanced filtration, heating, and automation systems improve operational reliability.
