Padel continues to expand globally, with increasing demand for courts in clubs, resorts, and private facilities. According to the Global Padel Report 2024, the cost of building a standard padel court ranges between €23,000 and €25,000, depending on materials, location, and installation specifics. This figure reflects the sport’s growing popularity and the investment required to meet its infrastructure needs.

The report provides a detailed breakdown of the typical costs involved in building a padel court:
-
€16,000 for the iron and glass structure
-
€3,500 for artificial turf
-
€1,000 for lighting systems
-

These figures represent average market prices across Europe and are subject to variation based on supplier, customization, and local regulations.
Strategic investment for clubs and venues
For sports clubs and leisure venues, the padel court investment is increasingly seen as a strategic move to attract new members and diversify offerings. With relatively compact dimensions and high player turnover, padel courts offer strong commercial potential.
“Padel is no longer a niche activity—it’s becoming a core feature in modern sports facilities.”, said a spokesperson from the European Padel Association, as cited in the Global Padel Report 2024.
Looking ahead
As padel continues to grow, construction costs may evolve with new technologies and materials. However, the current pricing model offers a clear framework for investors and facility managers aiming to enter the market. With demand rising across urban and suburban areas, padel’s infrastructure footprint is set to expand significantly in the coming years.
