MADRID, June 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Playtomic, the leading padel court booking platform, and Monitor Deloitte, the strategic consulting division of the professional services firm, have published the ‘Global Padel Report 2023’. This comprehensive report looks at the strong growth and promising future of paddle tennis as an ever-expanding global sport. Using meaningful data, it thoroughly analyzes the growth and behavior of players in the global padel environment, highlighting how padel has transformed into a global, social and inclusive sport.
Paddle tennis, a sport that has gained enormous popularity in recent years, is not limited to the post-COVID-19 boom. Paddle tennis is increasingly becoming a global sport, although the level of development and practice of the sport varies between different nations, indicating potential growth in different markets. In the coming years, a significant boost is expected in regions where padel is still in its early stages, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the US, the Middle East and Asia. This highlights the global development potential of the sport. The data points to an optimistic projection that in 2026 there will be some 85,000 paddle tennis courts worldwide, more than double the current almost 40,000.
In addition to the increase in tracks, the report highlights the growth of the paddle tennis sector, valued at approximately 2,000 million euros. The evolution of paddle tennis courts increased by 28% (8,200) in 2022, while the number of clubs increased by 24% (1,914) in the same period. Spain continues to be the country with the highest number of tracks built (15,300), followed by Italy (6,470) and Sweden (4,200). In 2022, 6,600 paddle tennis courts were built in Europe.
Paddle tennis is not limited to mere competition, but is also characterized by its ability to encourage social interaction and be an exercise for players of all ages. The padel community is characterized by a tendency for players to practice the sport in different places, which helps to form a dynamic and interconnected community, key factors for players. Many players appreciate the opportunity to play with many different players and this contributes to more socialization naturally.
Pablo Carro, co-founder and head of communication at Playtomic, said “This new edition of the Global Padel Report not only reveals which countries will soon be the epicenter of padel. By studying the data, we have made a great effort to understand the factors that are helping the sport to become a global phenomenon.Thanks to this report we have realized that the interconnected community that is created through paddle tennis facilitates social relationships and makes it a true lifestyle that goes beyond fun or pure sport”.
According to Elena MartÃn, senior director of Monitor Deloitte, “This report, which has become a benchmark for the sector, once again highlights the sustained growth of this sport among fans and the interest of investors in contributing to its development, especially with regard to the construction of courts and the creation of clubs. These figures allow us to make an optimistic projection in the short and medium term both in the already developed markets and in the emerging ones.”
