Demand Signals

The true strength of padel demand in Zagreb only surfaces in live booking and occupancy data — which venues run hot at which prices, where the market pays a meaningful peak premium, and which slots are structurally empty. These live indicators — median occupancy across all tracked venues, peak/off-peak price spreads, and how both shift month over month — are part of Padelnomics Research. On the public surface the padelnomics Score of 36/100 is the compact read on the demand–supply balance.

Competition Landscape

Catchment coverage is moderate. Venues in Zagreb compete not just with each other but with surrounding locations — a differentiated positioning pays off.

Tennis infrastructure as a signal: There are 0 tennis courts within 25 km. Fewer tennis courts may indicate lower racquet-sport tradition. Padel needs to be positioned more strongly as a standalone sport here.
