Padel, a game that combines aspects of racquetball, squash, and tennis, has seen a stratospheric surge in popularity in sports in the past few decades. Padel has swept many countries off their feet, attracting players of all skill levels and ages. It moved from Mexico to Spain, Italy, and even countries in the Middle East. It’s no wonder Padel is currently played by 25 million people in more than 90 countries.
As years pass, more people discover padel, cementing it as a worthy counterpart to other well-renowned sports such as football and tennis. But how widespread is Padel compared to other sports?
The popularity of padel compared to other sports in regions like Europe has experienced a significant rise in recent years. In Spain, for instance, padel is the second most popular sport after football, with over 6 million active participants and more than 20,000 padel courts.
However, because of its low viewership, the professional padel market is smaller than other sports. Nonetheless, this sport has the potential to witness exponential growth in the near future due to the tendency of increasing popularity and the advent of new media channels that broadcast tournaments.
