Experts believe the UK home swimming pool market is set for steady expansion in 2026 and beyond, supported by rising wellness spending and a strong national market forecast showing a projected 5.8% annual growth rate. Of the home nations, England will continue to dominate installations, while Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland show slower but distinct growth patterns shaped by climate, income levels, and housing stock.
Much of the predicted residential sector growth is driven by:
• Increased disposable income
• A rising focus on wellness and at home leisure
• Higher demand for premium home improvements
• Urbanisation and lifestyle upgrades across the UK
The UK represents about 4.08% of the global swimming pool market, indicating a meaningful but niche share of global activity. Expected to grow between 5–6% in 2026, England will continue to account for over 70% of all UK home pool installations due to its larger population, higher density of affluent households, and more favourable planning environments. With wellness and outdoor living continuing to rise, homeowners are expected to invest more in personalised, low maintenance, and energy efficient pool solutions.
