The current sports market in Iraq is witnessing a rapid shift toward racquet sports, specifically with the surge of the padel court. However, the extreme arid climate and intense UV radiation pose significant challenges to traditional building materials, often leading to premature degradation of synthetic surfaces.
Economic diversification in cities like Baghdad and Erbil has led to an increase in private luxury clubs and community wellness centers. This has created a specific demand for a single padel court layout that maximizes limited urban space while ensuring the structure can withstand thermal expansion during summer peaks.
Furthermore, there is a growing critical need for specialized underlayment. The adoption of high-density rubber floor mat systems is becoming essential to absorb shock and protect the base concrete from the harsh temperature fluctuations characteristic of the Iraqi desert region.
