1 U.S. Swimming Pool and Hot Tub Chemical Market Report Year Ending 2015 During 2015, the retail value of pool and hot tub chemicals was about $3.7 billion. Sales were down slightly from the previous year. Total chemical sales have only increased about 7% over the past decade and have been slowed by sluggish growth in the corresponding residential and commercial pool and hot tub segments.
