Which of these market trends are your customers following? It’s no surprise to find that energy saving products dominate this chart this year.

Would you describe most of those sales as being at the top-end of the market, budget conscious or somewhere in between? The present financial climate appears to have left the rich relatively unscathed while making life very difficult for people on lower incomes, for people with less disposable income.

Was 2022 a good year for the Wet Leisure Industry? 2022 was a year of contrasts. Quite often, extreme contrasts.

Would you describe most of those sales as being at the top-end of the market, budget conscious or somewhere in between? The chart shows that customers looking to make budget conscious purchases are an even smaller sector of the market than last year.

What sort of businesses made up the survey sample? The questions in this section are designed to show what sort of businesses answered the survey and they also give a good overall picture of the wet leisure industry. Which region of the UK does your business operate from?   The geographical spread of the Survey […]

This will be the eleventh year of the Wet Leisure Industry Survey. Each year these survey reports look back over the year that has been; and what a year it has been. It almost feels as if our sense of time has been distorted. Covid and its enormous impact on our business lives, Brexit and […]
