How much does the padel ? | Padel Magazine

As now every year, the firm Monitor Deloitte details the keys to the global economy of padel. The opportunity to discover the evolution of the average basket of a player of padel or even the price of a track of padel.

Between €18 and €000 for land

The cost of constructing a field of padel varies depending on several factors, such as the type of track (indoor, outdoor or semi-indoor). To carry out this analysis, the firm Monitor Deloitte has identified two categories of costs: initial costs and recurring costs.

Regarding the initial costs, the elements to be considered are:

The cost of the court: between €14 and €000
The cost of the coating: between 2 and 000 €
Transport costs: between €1 and €000
Expenses related to the installation: between 1 and 000 €

Regarding recurring costs, it is important to take into account:

The cost of replacing the coating: between 500 and 2 € per year (it is considered that the coating should be changed every four years)
Maintenance costs: €1 per year

Thus, it is advisable to plan a budget comprised between €18 and €000 for the construction of a plot of padel, whether in a club or in your garden.

Average rental price of a plot of padel for one hour: 29€

Among the 13 countries analyzed in the Deloitte Monitor study in 2021, we note that the average cost of renting a plot of padel for one hour is €29.

It is notable that the highest average cost for one hour of rental is observed in United Arab Emirates (55 €), due to high demand and limited supply of tracks and clubs. The United Arab Emirates are followed by the Sweden (40 €), a country where the cost of living is high.

In France, the average price for the reservation of a court of padel for one hour is 32 €. For its part, Spain has the lowest average booking cost (€15), although this figure may vary from city to city. This difference is partly explained by the large number of courses available in Spain, where there are now almost 15 tracks.

Spain and Belgium have the most affordable prices

The Deloitte Monitor study also reveals the most financially attractive European cities to gamble padel.

The cities offering the most affordable rates for renting a playing field padel for one hour are: Madrid (€12), Barcelona (€20), Genk (€20) and Antwerp (€22) in Belgium.

On the other hand, the most expensive cities are in the Nordic countries: Stockholm (€40), Helsinki (€38), Copenhagen (€33) and Trondheim (€34).

In France, prices in Toulouse are on average €29 and around €27 in Nice, reflecting the average established in the previous analysis.

The annual income of a track of padel

Faced with the prices of land in padel in the United Arab Emirates, it makes sense that this Middle Eastern country has the highest turnover globally. Indeed, the annual income from land in the UAE is €155.

In Europe, Sweden and Italy stand out. It is important to remember that Sweden is the European country where land rental costs are the highest, which explains its leading position in this ranking with €95 per land. However, Italy has a surprise in store. Despite a court rental rate of €000 per hour of play, i.e. €28 less than in France, the annual income per court there exceeds ours: €82 in Italy versus €000 in France.

This result is explained by the disparity in the number of fields and clubs between the two nations, but above all by the number of practitioners. Italy has no less than 1,5 million fans of the little yellow ball, compared to 400 in France. Knowing that there are about four times more tracks in Italy than in France, we also deduce that the Italians play more than the French.

In France you have to book 4 days before playing

In Belgium (8,5 days) and the Netherlands (6,5 days), some foresight is required to play. Indeed, Belgium stands out as the country where players anticipate their reservations the most (8 days), ahead of the Netherlands (these two countries have around 500 tracks).

For lovers of spontaneity, Spain is a good choice. In this country, the anticipation of reservations is among the shortest (3,6 days).

In France, it is necessary to reserve on average 4 days in advance to have a ground of padel.

The anticipation of reservations is influenced in particular by cultural differences as well as the quantity of land.

Market evolution for the next four years

The land reservation market in padel currently generates approximately 1,25 billion euros in revenue per year, thus constituting the most important sector of the world industry of the padel. Growth in the total number of lots across new regions (such as the US, UK, Germany, Middle East, Japan, Australia, etc.), coupled with growing demand from gamers, will triple the estimated market value by 2026.

The market could then reach 4 billion euros in 2026. The grounds of padel should therefore go from 38 in 000 to 2022 in 84.

Inflation and growing demand from regions with high purchasing power will cause the average rate per hour to rise to a average annual growth rate of 5%. Thus, the price per hour will drop from €25 in 2022 to €32 in 2026.
