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 52/100 is the compact read on the demand–supply balance.
