The hydro massage tub, also known as the hydrotherapy massage pool, mainly uses a water pump to make the nozzle on the inner wall of the bathtub spray water mixed with air. Through single control or combined control of the impact frequency, direction (multi-directional swing, rotation, etc.), strength (single impulse), flow (total impact), etc. of the water flow, different massage effects are produced on the human body. The hydro massage tub is equipped with a water inlet, and the water enters the circulation filtration system from the water inlet, and flows back to the water pump after being filtered by the water treatment product to form a cycle. The water flow generated by the nozzle can relieve the nerve tension on the surface of the skin, provide an effective way to relieve muscle tissue, achieve the purpose of relieving fatigue and relaxing the body and mind, and assist with lighting, television, aromatherapy, etc. to improve the consumer experience. In addition, when a person is immersed in a hydro massage tub, the buoyancy of the water can reduce the person's weight, relax the whole body, and help the body relieve the pressure on the joints and muscles. The constant temperature hot water in the hydro massage tub can increase the body temperature and dilate the blood vessels to promote blood circulation.

The global market for hydromassage bathtubs is in a period of stable expansion. Benefiting from multiple factors such as the renewal of mid- to high-end residential buildings, the upgrading of healthy consumption concepts and the popularization of smart bathrooms, the functions have expanded from basic hydrojet to "spa + rehabilitation", and intelligent control (such as constant temperature system, remote adjustment, and water pressure programming) has become the mainstream configuration.

From a regional perspective, the Asia-Pacific market has the fastest growth rate, especially driven by the rise of middle-class consumption in China and Southeast Asia; the European and American markets are mainly based on high-end improvement demand and commercial B-end (hotels, nursing homes) procurement, emphasizing personalization, water saving and environmental protection performance.

The factors driving the continued growth of hydro massage tubs mainly include the following: First, the global aging trend drives the demand for family health care equipment, and massage tubs are increasingly included in the configuration of aging-friendly bathrooms; second, with the advancement of fine decoration housing policies, developers have made massage tubs a standard feature of luxury homes and improved homes, stimulating bulk purchases; third, hotels and high-end health care institutions install spa equipment to enhance service experience, forming a stable B-end purchase; in addition, environmental protection policies and green building certification encourage the use of water-saving and energy-saving bathroom products, which also accelerates the technical upgrade of massage tub systems.

The expansion of the hydro massage tub market is not only in the renovation of existing residential buildings and the configuration of new buildings, but also benefits from the upgrading trend of the consumer end. With the development of the smart home ecosystem, products with integrated intelligent functions such as voice control, timed operation, and LED atmosphere lights are becoming increasingly popular. At the same time, green and energy-saving design has also become a new technical threshold. Massage tubs with efficient water channel design, low-noise water pumps, and self-cleaning functions have gained higher market acceptance in Europe and the United States.

Changes in the international trade pattern have made manufacturing bases such as China, Vietnam, and Turkey play a more important role in the global OEM system, becoming the main undertakers of outsourced manufacturing for European and American brands, forming a new window for export substitution.

The Sino-US trade friction has a profound impact on the hydro massage tub industry chain. Since 2018, the United States has included a number of Chinese-made bathroom products in the "301 tariff" list, imposing an import tax of up to 25%, resulting in a reduction in the profit margins of Chinese manufacturers in the US market. At the same time, the US government imposed additional tariffs on steel and aluminum in accordance with Section 232, further pushing up local manufacturing costs. This has forced many American brands to optimize their supply chain layout, such as setting up assembly bases in Mexico, or shifting some component purchases to Canada and Vietnam to avoid tariff pressure.

For Chinese manufacturers, exporting hydro massage tubs to the United States requires facing the triple thresholds of tariffs, certification, and logistics. The challenges are relatively large in the short term, but they can be partially alleviated through re-export trade, neutral origin labels, or local assembly.

Compared with the United States, there are no large-scale trade barriers between the European market and China, and the export of hydro massage tubs is relatively smooth. However, affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the European manufacturing industry is generally facing rising energy costs and fluctuations in raw material prices, which has reduced the competitiveness of local production and increased dependence on imports. Chinese manufacturers have therefore accelerated their adaptation in terms of CE certification and energy-saving certification, and are expected to continue to expand their share in the European market.

In addition, the new EU environmental regulations continue to raise the technical threshold, prompting products to evolve towards functions such as intelligent control, water saving, and antibacterial, and promote the overall technological upgrading of the industry.

Overall, the hydro massage tub market has shown strong growth momentum under the trend of smart bathrooms, health and wellness life needs, and consumption upgrades. Although the Sino-US trade friction has brought some resistance, through supply chain optimization and product technology improvement, Chinese manufacturing still has a competitive advantage in the global high-end bathroom track. With the superposition of green building materials policies and changes in population structure, this market segment will continue to release growth potential in the next few years.
