Amidst the booming global sports industry, padel, as a new and dynamic sport, is sweeping the world at an unprecedented rate. The construction of its supporting facilities—padel courts—is also experiencing explosive growth, attracting the attention of numerous sports enthusiasts and investors.
Originating in Mexico in the 1960s as a family pastime, padel’s unique appeal gradually gained popularity in Spanish-speaking regions. In recent years, it has become a global phenomenon, reaching over 90 countries, with over 25 million players. Today, padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.
From Europe to the Americas, from Asia to Africa, padel courts are popping up like mushrooms after a rain. In Spain, the sport’s popularity is second only to football, with 20,000 courts and over 6 million active players. Sweden also has hundreds of thousands of people participating, and the number of new courts continues to climb. Despite a relatively late start, the UK now has over 200 padel courts serving approximately 90,000 players. Padget tennis participation in France also continues to grow, demonstrating significant potential.
In the Americas, while padel tennis is still in its infancy, the US is experiencing strong growth. In 2024, the US added 352 new padel tennis courts, bringing the total to approximately 800. It is projected that by around 2027, the US will surpass all other countries in terms of the number of padel tennis courts. Miami, as the center of padel tennis in the US, is leading the trend and spreading to surrounding cities.
Padget tennis is also gaining traction in Asia and the Middle East. Driven by tournaments, India is developing into a strong padel tennis market. Saudi Arabia, with government support, is also experiencing rapid growth in padel tennis.
The diverse designs and innovations of padel tennis courts are also fueling its development. Covered paddle soccer fields offer an all-weather playing environment, regardless of weather conditions—whether it’s a rainy European winter or a scorching Middle Eastern summer, players can enjoy the fun of the sport at any time. Panoramic paddle tennis courts, with their expansive views, allow players to take in the surrounding natural landscape or cityscape while swinging their rackets. This unique visual experience further enhances the enjoyment of the sport. These innovative designs not only address the limitations of traditional courts but also meet the needs of users in different regions, promoting the widespread adoption of padel tennis.
With the growing popularity of padel tennis, its commercial value is also becoming increasingly prominent. Many sports figures have joined the movement and invested in related businesses. British tennis legend Andy Murray invested in Game4Padel, a British padel tennis court supplier, as did Dutch football star Van Dijk. Swedish football star Zlatan Ibrahimović built a padel tennis court in his hometown, and David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane frequently share their daily padel tennis sessions on social media. These celebrity influences have greatly increased the visibility and influence of paddle tennis, attracting more people to the sport and making paddle tennis court construction a popular investment opportunity.
Amid the booming global paddle tennis market, SHENZHEN LDK INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD., a professional sports court exporter, has distinguished itself in the field with its superior product quality and extensive industry experience. The company boasts a professional design team capable of creating customized paddle tennis court solutions, including covered paddle soccer fields and panoramic paddle tennis courts, tailored to client needs and site conditions.

From site planning and material supply to construction and installation, the company provides one-stop services, ensuring each project is completed efficiently and with high quality, tailored to the climate and usage scenarios of each country.
The International Paddle Tennis Federation (FIP) is also actively promoting the inclusion of paddle tennis in the Olympic Games, with 2025 considered a key year. If paddle tennis successfully enters the Olympics, it will undoubtedly usher in a new round of explosive growth, further increasing the demand for paddle tennis courts—both professional tournament venues and community and club leisure facilities—and a construction boom is expected.
Paddle tennis is experiencing a golden period of rapid development, its unique appeal and broad prospects attracting global attention. Whether in terms of growing participation, expanding venue construction, or exploring and enhancing commercial value, paddle tennis demonstrates enormous potential.
