Many gigantic clubs ou innovative projects allowed us to understand that padel is experiencing a  expansion phase  particularly strong in  Sweden . We analyze the  statistics  which confirm the impression.

Players ... many players

Si  the offer  padel is increasing so much, it is indeed because investors have seen the business opportunity. They are passionate, but it is the strong  Increase in demand for padel  which has given rise to so many projects.

According to these figures offered by Elite Padel,  485 players  unique people booked a padel court in 2020, an increase of 186% compared to the previous year!

Even more strongly, it is estimated that  1 Swedish  played padel in 2020, almost  10% of the Swedish population  ! We understand better why so many projects are emerging.

Among these players, only 2 have the padel license: this is the next challenge for the fSwedish Padel Federation.

Structures and trained coaches

Number of  paddle club  is close to  500  closest “The numbers keep changing with the rapid growth”, proudly warns us  Maria Agrel,  member of the board of the Swedish federation.

The increase in  number of courts  has not been at its peak with the health crisis, but it is expected that 2021 will once again be a historic year for Swedish padel. Currently equipped with  1 courts  Sweden could pass the bar in padel  2 000  even before the end of 2021.

No wonder with openings of 23 court clubs !

Number of  padel coaches  is also increasing, but not fast enough according to Elite Padel. Indeed, the increase of  20 %  in the number of coaches trained in 2020 is much lower than the 67% increase in the number of licensees, or 186% in the number of players.

The  90 Swedish coaches  will not be able to cover all the demand, hence the great need for coaches in Sweden.

The figures are very encouraging. The soundness of the investments allows us to believe that  Padel will be here to stay  in Sweden, and not just be a fad.
