The U.S. swimming pool industry is booming, and it’s not just about new installations. Renovations of existing pools are expected to play a significant role in the market in 2025. Experts predict that over 80,000 residential pools will undergo renovations, driven by aging infrastructure, evolving aesthetic preferences, and the desire for energy efficiency.
The Numbers Behind the Renovation Boom
The American pool landscape is vast, with over 10 million residential pools currently in use. Many of these pools, installed decades ago, are now due for upgrades. In 2024, approximately 75,000 pools were renovated, and this figure is expected to grow by 5-10% in 2025 due to:
- Aging infrastructure: Pools built during the 1990s and early 2000s are reaching the end of their functional lifespan.
- Eco-conscious homeowners: Increasing demand for energy-efficient systems, such as LED lighting, is spurring renovations.
- Modern designs: Homeowners are opting for features that provide comprehensive backyard experience.
Speed of Renovation and Cost: Consumer’s Top Priority
For homeowners, minimizing disruption is a top concern when planning a pool renovation. The need for speed and a commitment to reduced cost is critical for several reasons:
- Seasonal use: Many homeowners want their pools ready for summer, especially in seasonal climates.
- Market competitiveness: Pool renovation companies/technicians that deliver quicker and cost-effective results often secure more business.
- Shortened downtime: A faster turnaround reduces inconvenience, particularly for families relying on their pools for recreation.
