A look at the evolution of the pool and spa market

When we slip on a pair of trunks or swimming costume and splash about in a pool, the innovations that have made this possible are often far from our thoughts. Today, we can control the quality and the temperature of the water with just a few clicks! Innovations have continuously driven the evolution of the pool market and have also helped the sector achieve a new record. So it makes total sense that innovations take pride of place at each Piscine Global Europe trade show.
