Swimming pool treatment chemicals are typically manufactured in liquid and powder forms as well as in concentrates and ready-to-use formulations. The most commonly employed chemicals in the pool water treatment process include sanitizers, balancers, shocks, and algaecides.

The COVID-19 pandemic was first reported in Wuhan (China) in December 2019. As of March 2021, the US, India, Brazil, Russia, the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Germany, Colombia, and Argentina are among the worst-affected countries in terms of confirmed cases and reported deaths. According to the latest WHO figures, there are 114,315,846 confirmed cases and 2,539,427 total deaths globally. The outbreak has adversely affected economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The chemicals industry is one of the major industries suffering serious disruptions such as supply chain breaks and production facility shutdowns. The shutdown of various plants and factories in leading regions such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East and Africa is restricting the global supply chain and hindering the manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and goods sales. Furthermore, various companies have already announced possible delays in product deliveries and slump in future sales of their products. In addition, the global travel bans imposed by countries in Europe, Asia, and North America are hampering the business collaborations and partnerships opportunities. These factors are restraining the growth of various markets related to the chemicals industry.

Earlier, visiting to a swimming pool or owning a swimming pool was considered as a luxury that was affordable to limited population. However, this attitude has faded away with growing per capita disposable income, increasing urge to live luxurious life, and rapid rise in urbanization; thus, swimming pools now have become common throughout the world in almost all types of residential and commercial complexes. The rising popularity of swimming, both, for recreational purpose and as a fitness activity has encouraged the pool building activities in all the newly constructed house, apartments, and societies. This new drift has also triggered the need to keep the swimming pools clean and safe, which has largely benefitted the swimming pool treatment chemicals market for residential application over the last few years. These chemicals include disinfectants such as calcium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite, along with water chemical balancers and algaecides that help remove algae, bacteria, and other pathogens from pools. Furthermore, augmented consciousness about the quality of pool water, coupled with the strict government regulations and guidelines regarding pool safety, also foster the use of swimming pool treatment chemicals.
Additionally, the robust growth of the construction industry, especially in emerging regions, is a key growth promoter. Moreover, increasing interest in water-based leisure and sports activities has escalated the spending on building of swimming pools with hi-tech technologies. Thus, surging emphasis on fitness among youngsters and growing popularity of swimming pools for recreational activity are driving the swimming pool treatment chemicals market growth.
On the basis of product type, the swimming pool treatment chemicals for residential application market has been segmented into sanitizers, balancers, shocks, algaecides, and others. The sanitizers segment accounted for the largest market share in 2019, and the balancers segment is expected to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period. Sanitizers help maintain the safety and hygiene of pools by killing bacteria and viruses, eliminating chloramines, and neutralizing algae present in the water. By maintaining the chemical balance of the pool water, they make the pool water safe and clean for other swimmers. The most commonly used pool sanitizers include chlorine and bromine. Chlorine is available in the form of tablets, granules, and liquid, among others. It is effective in killing bacteria and other pathogens in water. Chlorine can be introduced to the pools in stabilized and unstabilized forms. The unstabilized chlorines include chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, lithium hypochlorite, and chlorine gas, whereas the stabilized chlorines include dichloro-s-triazinetrione (dichlor) and trichloro-s-triazinetrione (trichlor). Although chlorine has its own benefits, it is extremely susceptible to sunlight and has to be regularly monitored. To overcome this issue, many of the chlorine-based sanitizers are now being sold in combination with cyanuric acid that acts as a conditioner/stabilizer and protects the swimmer’s skin from the effect of sunlight.
