Overview

According to industry experts at CMI, Swimming pool chemicals are used to keep pools, spas, hot tubs, and other bodies of water clean, clear, and safe. They include sanitizers (e.g., chlorine, bromine), algaecides, pH/alkalinity/calc-hardness balancers, oxidizers, clarifiers, and other water-treatment agents. The “Swimming Pool Chemicals Market” includes the making, selling, shipping, and use of these chemicals in pools around the world, including homes, businesses, public pools, and specialized pools.

The swimming pool chemicals market is being driven by several factor such as growing health and wellness trends, increasing disposable income of the population, rising technological advancements in terms of dosing and automation, increasing sports activities, rising number of water parks, increasing hospitality sector and others. However, the volatile nature of raw material posing a major challenge to the industry expansion.

Key Trends & Drivers

• Rising swimming sports activities: Increasing numbers of individuals are swimming for fun, which is driving up the demand for pool chemicals and making it necessary to regulate the water more carefully and use more chemicals. There are more and more structured swim clubs and competitive swimming across the world. USA Swimming membership is predicted to grow by 1% in 2024, and there is a lot of interest in school and club swimming programs. Major swim meets, local contests, and community events continue to draw in new swimmers. This means that the pool needs to be used often, the water quality needs to be high, and the chemicals need to be treated regularly. Swimming is also the most popular organized sport for kids in Canada and the United States. In Canada, 23% of kids play it and additional kids are coming to the pool regularly because of introductory programs. This means that additional chemicals are needed to keep the water clean and safe for people with sensitive skin.

• Increasing demand for clean and safe water: People are becoming more conscious of how important it is to keep water clean and safe. This is a big reason why the swimming pool chemicals industry is rising. People and businesses are becoming more aware of the risks of poorly managed swimming pools, such as bacterial pollution, algae growth, and illnesses that spread through water. End users are looking for effective chemical treatments that make water safe. Regulatory bodies are also raising the standards for water quality, which means that pool owners must utilize reliable treatment methods. The industry is also rising because more people are living healthy lifestyles and swimming is becoming more popular as a way to get fit.

Report Scope
