A market concentrated in two cities
Around three quarters of Russia’s padel market is concentrated in Moscow and St Petersburg. Further potential exists in regional cities as operators test formats and refine their business models.

A standard court measures 20 by 10 metres. Indoor venues need sufficient clear height, unobstructed playing areas and suitable structural and acoustic conditions. These requirements influence which shopping centres, sports facilities and former industrial spaces can accommodate clubs.
A role in retail repositioning
The research describes growing interest in padel as a way to refresh shopping-centre tenant mixes and attract additional visitors. Technical compatibility remains a central consideration when integrating courts into an existing building.
