We often talk about the Sweden as one of country where the padel grows the most. A surge of the population towards this sport if easy to understand and clubs padel Kitchen faucets flourish all over the country.

These last 5 years have been explosive for the padel Swedish. He is the national coach Andréas Johansson who explains it.

Un padel leisure

Le padel has grown in recent years and is now known by most of the population. The past 6 months have been amazing. The padel affects all generations, from the youngest to the oldest, families, friends, neighbors, businesses, everyone gets together on the slopes to have a good time; the padel leisure is all the rage.

Will this momentum ever stop?

At least not at the moment. It is currently happening in Sweden what happened in Spain in the 2000s. Investors see a new source of income, the clubs are emerging very quickly. Today there is more demand than supply so everything is fine for these clubs which can afford to apply slightly higher prices than elsewhere especially during peak hours.

It could be that the year 2021 is still as strong, but thereafter the padel will stagnate, prices will be more competitive and the municipalities will certainly create their own centers which will compete with the private ones.

Numbers:

These figures are given by Matchi which is the most widely used software in Sweden with more than 80% of the market.

Since 2017, the number of unique players who have made a reservation has more than doubled.

In 2019, there were more than 900 reservations. A figure that should further increase in 000 and 2020.

The number of courts padel available on the platform increased from 88 in 2015 to 1 today.

Size clubs

This is certainly the strength of Sweden right now. The clubs of the big cities are huge centers which often have more than 15 tracks, and of course indoors. Places with high quality facilities, designed to please, meet up, share good times over a drink or simply by watching friends play.

The concept padel in Sweden is now focused on padel for all, of leisure, the competitions arriving in second table.
