Description
These reports are compiled from responses to two industry surveys that we sent out to the float community. One questionnaire was sent to existing float centers, focusing on how their start-up process went as well as questions about ongoing operations. The other questionnaire was sent to prospective centers, to get a sense of their plans and where they are in the process, in order to help us understand the potential growth of the industry moving forward.
In total, for 2024, we received answers from 68 existing centers and 17 prospective centers. We’ve also collected data directly from the systems of 45 HelmBot software users who generously opted-in. Their information was anonymized and aggregated, and shows verified data from operating float centers.
This is the 11th year of conducting this industry survey and report. Historical data from these reports allows us to see over a decade of industry trends and patterns, offering valuable insights for both current operators and prospective float center owners.
You can also download the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 State of the Float Industry reports for free to compare the data between years.
This year’s report is jointly released by Float Tank Solutions and the Floatation Tank Association (FTA).
