🇹🇷 Türkiye
Current Status (2024–2025):
According to Bonafide Research, the pickleball market in Turkey is growing rapidly, with a CAGR exceeding 24% for the 2024–2029 period. While there is no publicly available data on the exact number of active courts, it is understood that the need for indoor courts, the establishment of local federations, and municipal support are shaping the emerging infrastructure.
5-Year Projection (2025–2030):
At a 24% annual compound growth rate, a sharp increase can be expected from the current low base. Although the exact number for 2025 is not available, it is reasonable to estimate that Turkey could reach 200–500 courts by 2030.
🌍 Europe
Current Status (2025):
Exact figures for the total number of pickleball courts in Europe remain limited in public sources. However, in the UK, pickleball has been officially recognized as a sport, and membership reportedly increased by 70–100% between 2024 and 2025 (The Washington Post). While precise continent-wide court numbers are not confirmed, the sport is reported to be spreading quickly across various countries.
5-Year Projection (2025–2030):
Given the sport’s recent recognition and the start of infrastructure investments, a 20–30% annual growth rate could result in a total of 10,000–20,000 courts across Europe within five years (assuming a starting point of a few thousand courts).
🌎 Americas
🇺🇸 United States (North America)
Current Status (2024–2025):
According to USA Pickleball data, as of 2024 there are 15,910 facilities nationwide where pickleball can be played, containing a total of 70,000+ courts (Wikipedia, usapickleball.org).
In 2023, the U.S. had 13.6 million players, rising to approximately 19.8 million in 2024—a 311% growth over three years (Statista, Wikipedia).
5-Year Projection (2025–2030):
If the current growth trend continues, applying a 15–20% annual increase to the ~70,000 current courts could result in 100,000–150,000 courts by 2030.
🇨🇦 Canada
Current Status:
According to Pickleball Canada, there were 85,223 members by the end of 2024, with 1.54 million active monthly players (Wikipedia).
5-Year Projection (2025–2030):
With strong growth in membership and participation, court infrastructure could expand at 20%+ annually between 2025 and 2030. Assuming several thousand courts in 2025, Canada could potentially reach 10,000+ courts by 2030.
