Sintesi
The global swimming pool market is estimated at 3.41 billion dollars in 2021 and is expected to grow gradually over the next few years with a CAGR of 2.8% in the period 2023-2026, reaching a value of 3.91 billion dollars. North America is anticipated to lead this growth, accounting for 44% of the market expansion during this period. Despite the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the swimming pool industry experienced a surge in demand, particularly for residential swimming pools. This growth, fueled by lockdowns and the desire for at-home leisure spaces, was notable through increased sales, with key market players such as Piscine Castiglione reporting a 40-60% increase in orders from 2018 to 2020. The Italian market reflects similar trends, where sales of pools grew 7.5-8% in 2019 compared to 2018, with an expectation for continued growth bolstered by rising quality of life, interest in personal wellness, climate change leading to hotter summers, and a growing number of secondary residences. Italy's pool market is also experiencing a shift towards prefabricated, eco-sustainable pools and customized solutions, emphasizing affordability, lower environmental impact, and sustainability.
The Italian Swimming Pool Market: Trends and Dynamics
The demand for swimming pools in Italy has seen a stable momentum with over 10,000 pools sold annually. The recent growth spurt can be largely attributed to socio-economic factors such as enhanced quality of life, improved disposable incomes, a burgeoning real estate sector, and an amplifying emphasis on personal wellness. One of the major contributors to this sustained demand is the burgeoning number of second homes throughout Italy, which reached roughly between 5 and 7 million in 2020. Given that 85% of Italian residents live in urban areas, these second homes often emerge as the most feasible locations for pool installation, away from the space constraints of the city apartments. Another factor driving demand is the country's climate trends, wherein the average maximum annual temperature was noted to rise from approximately 22.7°C in August 2011 to around 25.6°C in August 2019. Interestingly, Italy shows a high percentage of the population with access to appropriate spaces for pool installation — 88% of households have some form of outdoor living space, with about 40% boasting gardens and close to a quarter having vegetable gardens. Moreover, Italians have a strong inclination towards aquatic activities, with 21.1% of sports practitioners engaging in aquatic sports and a staggering 43.1% of children under 10 years old swimming as their primary sport. However, when it comes to the import and export of swimming pool equipment (under the code '9506'), Italy showed a net exporter's stance with a coverage rate that comfortably exceeded 100%. Yet, the tribulations of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 did reflect a dip in both imports and exports in comparison to the previous year, maintaining a consistent coverage rate nonetheless. The pool market in Italy is deeply diversified, offering a wide range of products from prefabricated, in-ground, above-ground, indoor, outdoor, and custom swimming pools to green and sustainable alternatives.
