Upcoming Trade Shows Köln, Germany for Swimming Pools

The resounding success of Aquanale 2023 has once again strengthened Cologne’s position as a key meeting point for the global wellness and swimming pool industry. The event, co-located with FSB, brought the big spenders, broke records in sales and business meetings, and generated some of the most buzzworthy headlines. The co-location of Aquanale and FSB created unique synergies, positioning Cologne as a global hub for the convergence of sports, leisure, and wellness infrastructure. Trade visitors found a comprehensive display ranging from public aquatic solutions to the latest in private pool design and control systems. Preparations for the 2025 edition are already underway and the event will lean further into the Innovation & Sustainability banner. One key takeaway from 2023 is the accelerating trend toward private swimming pools, particularly those enhanced with smart technology. A trend that’s already noticeable on a local level in Cologne’s swimming pool industry. International manufacturers showcased advanced systems covering the full lifecycle of pool ownership from design and construction to maintenance and renovation. Visitors encountered a wide range of stylish pool designs, automated covers, and intelligent control systems that can manage everything from temperature and filtration to lighting and sound, often through mobile apps. As consumer expectations grow, so too does the emphasis on convenience and energy efficiency. Automated water quality monitoring, precision dosing systems, and sustainable heating solutions were among the standout innovations. These developments align with broader market shifts; homeowners increasingly view private pools as wellness investments rather than luxury indulgences. Another key theme was safety and ease of use. As private pool ownership rises, so does the demand for user-friendly systems that provide both peace of mind and optimal performance. The technology on display ranged from real-time water diagnostics to fully integrated platforms allowing remote monitoring and servicing.
