Demand Signals

The true strength of padel demand in Johor Bahru 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 52/100 is the compact read on the demand–supply balance.

Competition Landscape

Within about 15 km of Johor Bahru, there are 5 padel venues with 19 courts serving a catchment population of 5.9M (0.1 venues / 0.3 courts per 100K).

The catchment area is thinly served. Players have few options, which increases the reach of new venues and reduces competitive intensity.

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

Revenue potential for a padel facility in Johor Bahru sits directly on the realised hourly rates and the booked occupancy across the year — figures that come from live market data, not assumptions. Per-court revenue estimates, comparison benchmarks against nearby venues, and the sensitivity to price and occupancy swings are part of Padelnomics Research.
