Ⅰ.Definition and Classification of Swimming Pool Cleaning Robot
Swimming pool cleaning robot is one type of automated pool cleaning device that can automatically move in the swimming pool to clean up the sand, dust, impurities and dirt in the pool water, pool walls and the bottom of the pool. According to the degree of automation, swimming pool cleaning robots can be divided into cable-free pool cleaning robot, cable pool cleaning robot and handheld pool cleaning robot, which are suitable for above-ground and underground swimming pools of various sizes, shapes and materials.
Ⅱ.Development background of swimming pool cleaning robot industry
Nowadays, North American remains the market with the largest market share in the global swimming pool market(Technavio Market Report, 2019-2024). At present, United States has more than 10.7 million swimming pools, and the number of new swimming pools, mainly private swimming pools, has been rising year after year. The number will increase to 117,000 in 2021, with an average of 1 swimming pool for every 31 people.
In France, the second largest swimming pool market in the world, the number of private swimming pools will exceed 3.2 million in 2022, and the number of new swimming pools will reach 244,000 in just one year, with an average of 1 swimming pool for every 21 people.
In the Chinese market dominated by public swimming pools, an average of 43,000 people share one swimming pool (a total of 32,500 swimming pools in the country, based on a population of 1.4 billion). But now the stock of domestic villas has reached 5 million units, and the number is increasing by 130,000 to 150,000 each year. Coupled with the popularity of small swimming pools and mini pools in urban flats, according to industry estimates, the scale of domestic household swimming pools is at least a starting space of about 5 million units.
Spain is the country with the fourth largest number of swimming pools in the world and the second largest number of swimming pools in Europe. Currently, the number of swimming pools in the country is 1.3 million (residential, public and collective).
Currently, there are more than 28.8 million private swimming pools in the world, and the number is increasing at a rate of 500,000 to 700,000 per year.
Ⅲ. Current status of pool cleaning robot industry
At present, pool cleaning market is still dominated by manual cleaning. In the global swimming pool cleaning market, manual cleaning accounts for about 45%, while swimming pool cleaning robots account for about 19%. In the future, with the increase in labor costs and the automation and intelligence of swimming pool cleaning robots, the penetration rate of swimming pool cleaning robots is expected to further increase.
According to the data, the market size of the global swimming pool cleaning robot industry was 6.136 billion yuan in 2017, and the market size of the global swimming pool cleaning robot industry was 11.203 billion yuan in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 16.24% from 2017 to 2021.
217-2022 Global Pool Cleaning Robot Market Size
In 2017, the market size of China’s swimming pool cleaning robot was 23 million yuan. In 2021, the market size of China’s swimming pool cleaning robot industry was 54 million yuan. The compound annual growth rate from 2017 to 2021 was 24.09%. At present, the penetration rate and global market value of swimming pool cleaning robots in Chinese swimming pools are relatively low, but the growth rate is higher than the global level.
It is estimated that by 2023, the penetration rate of swimming pool cleaning robots in Chinese swimming pools will reach 9%, and the market size of swimming pool cleaning robots will reach 78.47 million yuan.
From the comparison of the global-Chinese swimming pool robot market, the market size of the Chinese market is less than 1% of the global market.
According to the data, the global swimming pool robot market size will be nearly 11.2 billion RMB in 2021, with sales exceeding 1.6 million units. Only online channels in the United States will ship more than 500,000 swimming pool cleaning robots in 2021, with a growth rate of more than 130%, which belongs to the early stage rapid growth stage.
Ⅳ. Swimming Pool Cleaning Robots Market Competitive Landscape
In the global private swimming pool cleaning robot market, overseas brands are still the main players.
Maytronics (Israeli brand) occupies an absolute dominant position, with a shipment share of 48% in 2021; Fluidra is a listed multinational company originating from Barcelona, Spain, is one of the world’s most authoritative supplier of swimming pool water treatment equipment, with a professional history of more than 50 years, accounts for about 25% of shipments; and Winny (Wangyuan Technology) is one of the earliest companies engaged in the research and development and production of swimming pool cleaning robots in China, accounting for about 14%.
Ⅴ.Prospects of the swimming pool cleaning robot industry
In the global private swimming pool market, the current pool cleaning equipment is mainly based on traditional hand tools and suction side equipment. In recent years, the technology related to swimming pool cleaning robots has continued to develop. Pool cleaning robots are gradually equipped with functions such as wall climbing, inertial navigation, lithium battery power supply, and remote control. They are more automated and intelligent, and are increasingly favored by consumers.
With the continuous improvement of the technical level of the industry, after the popularization of related technologies such as visual perception, ultrasonic perception, intelligent path planning, Internet of Things, SLAM (instant location and map construction technology) and other related technologies in the industry in the future, swimming pool cleaning robots will gradually become functional. Transforming to intelligent, the swimming pool cleaning robot industry will face greater opportunities and development space.

In order to improve the intelligence of swimming pool cleaning robots, DYP developed the L04 ultrasonic underwater ranging sensor based on ultrasonic sensing technology. It has the advantages of small size, small blind area, high precision and good waterproof performance. Support modbus protocol, There are two different range, angle and blind area specifications for users with different needs to choose.
The L04 underwater ultrasonic ranging and obstacle avoidance sensor is mainly used in underwater robots and installed around the robot. When the sensor detects an obstacle, it will quickly transmit the data to the robot. By judging the installation direction and the returned data, a series of operations such as stop, turn, and deceleration can be performed to realize intelligent moving.
