Demand Signals

The true strength of padel demand in Pretoria 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 95/100 is the compact read on the demand–supply balance.

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

Tennis infrastructure as a signal: There are 462 tennis courts within 25 km. A strong tennis base signals high racquet-sport affinity — a pool of potential padel converts who already know the crossover or can be reached through combined offerings.
