Hey, Pool Deck!
We’re excited about the launch of our second annual State of Pool Service Report, a deep dive into the trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping our industry. This report wouldn’t exist without your input (so thank you!), and it highlights the hard work and resilience of pool pros like you.
Here are some key takeaways from this year’s report:
- Economic pressures like inflation and labor shortages were the top challenges in 2024 and will continue into 2025.
- Many of you are optimistic about 2025 and plan to use strategic price increases to offset rising costs.
- Pool pros are getting more sophisticated with growth strategies, from diversifying services to adopting new technology.
- The rise of private equity in the industry is stirring mixed feelings.
- Marketing has evolved—fewer lead buys, more customer engagement.
- Despite price volatility, the plus chems pricing model hasn’t gained widespread adoption.
