We already told you about it last year, The market for the construction of padel courts has also been a victim of the side effects of the health crisis that we are all experiencing.

Since the pandemic and the various deconfinements, padel has been the sport that has experienced the greatest growth in the world.

From there the pitches sold like hot cakes but unfortunately for the clubs, given the saturation of demand and the soaring costs of raw materials, prices have increased considerably.

Added to this were also delivery delays, not only in the padel sector but also in other areas (furniture, computer equipment, etc.).

A price spike

The year 2022 will not get better economically speaking. In fact, for the past few months, we have been experiencing a price increase, whether in the professional or in the private sector.

After a shortage of raw materials over the whole of last year, global demand still does not weaken, which leads to considerable delays in manufacturing and deliveries.

Manufacturers are therefore obliged to raise their prices every month. They have to deal with more than problematic factors such as fuel inflation, COVID restrictions, lack of staff at logistics providers and factories, but also the shortage of drivers at carriers.

Almost 30% inflation in padel

Padel unfortunately is no exception to the rule. In just one year, the courts have increased by almost 30% due to inflation. It's simply incredible.

Quotes have a delay of two weeks to a month because the prices of raw materials also change monthly. All companies in the sector, linked to the construction of padel clubs, are reluctantly seeing this surge in prices.

An outbreak that is not about to stop to the point where many manufacturers, for example, can no longer offer valid quotes for periods of more than one month. If it was just that...

The banks are also slowing down certain projects because, given the sums generated to open a club with increasingly expensive land, the latter are much more reluctant than before to finance entrepreneurs.

A complicated period therefore but which we hope will only be temporary. If you want to take advantage of the best prices and the best quality in terms of padel courts, do not hesitate to take a look in our manufacturer directories !
