Demand Signals

The true strength of padel demand in Riga 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 26/100 is the compact read on the demand–supply balance.

Competition Landscape

Within 25 km of Riga, there are 57 padel venues with 348 courts serving a catchment population of 829K (6.9 venues / 42.0 courts per 100K).

The catchment area is densely served — competition extends well beyond city limits. Site selection and accessibility become critical factors.

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.

Revenue Potential

Per-court revenue estimates, comparison benchmarks against nearby venues, and the sensitivity to price and occupancy swings are part of Padelnomics Research.
