It may sound paradoxical, but the numbers don't lie. Since the health crisis, padel has been booming. On any level, padel is growing strongly!

Increasing demand

Many racket brands are out of stock. After so much time away from lessons, players want to be ready at all levels, and of course they need palas worthy of their level! Equipment sales are a good indicator that padel continues to grow and that players have not abandoned this practice, quite the contrary!

As for land builders, it's a bit the same thing: some cannot keep up with demand because the supply is so great. Private and public clubs are created and / or bring a new activity to their complexes for the resumption of indoor sport scheduled for June 9This is an indicator that demonstrates that padel is developing significantly in France.

Stars as a vector of dissemination

Finally, the number of players is growing! The number of players is exploding throughout Europe. And the new players who try padel are all won over and they will become more or less regular players. Which will increase the demand for rackets, courts, etc. It must be said that during the entire period of health restrictions, outdoor padel has allowed, thanks to its fun side, many athletes deprived of their activity to be able to continue to let off steam and have fun!

He has also been able to delight influencers in sport as well. The personalities do not stop multiplying the proofs of love for this activity. A practice which many stars of tennis, football and television have seized.

When we talk about television and racket sports, we all think of Hanouna who promotes padel whenever possible. But another celebrity has even created an incredible private infrastructure in Sweden: Zlatan Ibrahimovic. And he is not the only footballer addicted to padel: between Beckham, Deschamps, Totti, and more recently Zidane, the former stars of the round ball are pinching for the little yellow ball!

Former (and current) top tennis players are not left out. We are of course thinking of Thomas Johansson, Jonas Björkman, Arnaud Di Pasquale, David Goffin or Arnaud Clément who have decided to invest themselves fully in this sport. Other players like Kim Clijters, Olivier Rochus or Gaël Monfils do not hide their love for padel, which is obviously excellent for its development!
