Global Pools & Spas

Global sales of pools and spas – i.e., units preassembled at the point of manufacture – is forecast to rise 3.5% per year to 4.9 million units in 2023, bringing the total number of units in use to 140 million. Unit gains will correspond with healthy global demand growth for pool and spa water treatment equipment and chemicals through 2023 to $12.1 billion. Advances will be supported by rising incomes, expansions in tourism and hospitality industries, and product and technology innovation, among other key factors specific to regional and national markets.
