KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Limitations on Swimming Pool Associated Industries Curbed the Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the pool cleaners market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The demand for pool cleaners drastically dropped during the COVID-19 pandemic. The restrictions on travel, hospitality, sports, and other industries to control virus spread among the general public, reduced the demand for pool cleaners as swimming pools are associated with these industries. As well as the ban on water sports activity and fear of virus transmission declined the use of swimming pools in both the commercial and residential sectors. In addition, the disruption in the supply chain and manufacturing of pool cleaning equipment also impacted the market demand. However, the market experienced a steady growth rate in market demand when industries were freed from all industrial limitations after the end of the pandemic.
