Piscina Barcelona 2025: bigger, more international, leading Europe with strength

With nearly 70% of its exhibitors coming from abroad, Piscina Barcelona 2025 is expanding significantly and cements its position as Europe’s leading event in what will be its largest edition in almost twenty years. From November 17 to 20, it will host over 400 exhibitors from 30 countries and showcase cutting-edge solutions in technology, sustainability, and user experience for pools and wellness spaces. It also introduces outdoor living as a new strategic focus, featuring proposals for outdoor décor and a program of 30+ activities on digitalization, efficiency, regulation, and business opportunities.

Organized by Fira de Barcelona with the support of the ASOFAP association, Piscina Barcelona 2025 reflects the strong momentum of the Spanish sector, which grew by 5.2% in the first half of the year and expects to exceed 1.6 billion euros in turnover this year. The trade show thus reaffirms itself as a meeting point for this industry and a gateway to the Spanish market, which, with more than 1.3 million pools, is the second largest in Europe and the fourth in the world in number of installations.

This year, Piscina Barcelona will occupy 45,000 gross square meters, 22% more than in its previous edition, consolidating itself as the most international fair on the European sector calendar. The event will be held in halls 1 and 2 of the Gran Via venue and will bring together exhibitors from around the world, with notable participation from Spain, China, France, Turkey, Italy, the Netherlands, the United States, the United Kingdom, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Belgium, which are the countries contributing the most exhibitors.

With a forecast of exceeding 15,000 visitors—60% of them international—the show will attract a diverse professional profile that includes importers, distributors, retailers, architects, engineers, builders, installers, landscapers, interior designers, and managers of sports centers, spas, hotels, campsites, and water parks. The show has invited a thousand key buyers and prescribers from different markets.

The president of the Organizing Committee of the show and executive president of Fluidra, Eloi Planes, states: “Piscina Barcelona 2025 reflects the extraordinary vitality of a sector that combines innovation, sustainability, and well-being to transform the way we enjoy water. This edition will be a turning point for the industry, bringing together the main international players and showcasing how technology, design, and efficient management can create aquatic spaces that are smarter, more sustainable, and more connected with people”.

AI, efficiency, and well-being
This year, artificial intelligence, energy efficiency, and well-being set the trends at the show, driving smarter, more sustainable, and healthier aquatic facilities. Innovations focus on automating maintenance, reducing energy and water consumption, minimizing the use of chemicals, and creating AI-connected ecosystems that integrate climate control, water treatment, and digital management. The most disruptive products will be featured in the Innovation Zone.

Alongside these technological solutions, the show will bring together a wide range of prefabricated pool shells, construction and coatings, physical and chemical water treatment, lighting, covers and safety equipment, as well as design and management software, filtration systems, control and measurement equipment, and a complete range of accessories and components that reflect the sector’s evolution toward sustainability. Among the exhibiting companies are Fluidra, Aiper, Hayward, Pnhx, Productos QP, Renolit, Aquavia Spa, Beatbot, Maytronics, Misouri, Wybotics, Proteam Europa, Superior Wellness, Aquagem, Aquark, Fairland, Psicontrol, Action Park, Piscinas Condal, Espa, and BWT.

Outdoor, pool, and wellness connection
The outdoor sector joins as a focus of Piscina Barcelona 2025, reflecting the link between outdoor space design and the pool and wellness universe. In this area, there will be a complete offering of contract furniture, outdoor kitchens and barbecues, fireplaces, lighting, flooring, sun protection systems, and landscaping and decoration solutions. Brands such as Ambiazza, Cerámicas Mayor, Leil Saunas, Conva, Weber, Domo by Indalsu, Spa & BBQ Concepts, Tarimatec, Exterpark, Rosa Gres, Catral Garden & Home Depot, and Cubiñá present proposals that integrate functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability.

The central space showcasing this connection will be the Outdoor & Wellness Experience showroom, designed by architect and landscaper Rosa Maria Torra, which will recreate a wellness center in a 1,000 m² Mediterranean garden, combining pool, spa, saunas, treatment cabins, and a fully furnished and equipped outdoor area.

More knowledge and networking
At the same time, Piscina Barcelona will offer more than 30 activities focused on sustainability, digitalization, and social impact. Regulatory, technical, and management challenges, sector professionalization, hotel investment in pools and wellness, and business opportunities in key markets will also be addressed, with success stories in the themed sessions “Mexico Day” and “Andalusia Day.”

Highlighted sessions include the Pool Horizons Summit, an international forum on the social, educational, and cultural value of pools with the participation of global leaders; the Digital Transformation and Social Impact in Pools sessions organized by INDESCAT; the roundtable on hotel investment organized by Cushman & Wakefield Hospitality Spain with hotel executives; and the ASOFAP session on obtaining the Professional Pool Maintenance Certificate, mandatory from January 2026.

The show will also host the conferences of the XIII International Landscape Biennial of Barcelona, organized by the Official College of Architects of Catalonia and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, and the session of the Spanish Association of Landscapers and Rain Bird on intelligent water use in green areas.

There will also be the VII International Business Meeting Hospitality Design & Wellness, with buyers from Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East; and the Job Market Place together with Barcelona Activa, connecting sector companies with pre-selected candidates, facilitating interviews and hiring processes during the event.

Additionally, this year networking is enhanced with new activities such as a meeting for interior designers, bringing together specialized studios with outdoor sector suppliers; and the one organized by the Women’s Network of the Pool and Spa Industry. The annual world meeting of pool sector associations will also take place.

Awards ceremonies
Finally, the show will present the awards of its competitions: the Wellness Experience Awards for the best spas, wellness centers, clinics, and wellness destinations of the year; the Piscina Barcelona Awards for the best residential and public pool and the most innovative product in sustainability and connectivity; the Outdoor Design Awards for the best outdoor decoration projects; and the International Competition for Architecture and Landscaping Students on the challenge of building a hypothetical aquatic center in the heart of Park Güell. It will also host the EUSA Awards for the best European projects in the sector.

In line with the values it promotes, Piscina Barcelona also applies sustainability criteria in organizing the event. This year, thanks to an agreement with the Institut Barcelona Esports (IBE), the pools and spas exhibited at the show will be filled with reused water from the outdoor pool of the Bernat Picornell municipal sports complex, which will be returned at the end of the fair in optimal conditions. In addition, as part of the Towards Zero Impact initiative, several actions will be implemented to minimize waste and reuse materials and furniture.
