The rising prevalence of diabetic patients is driving the growth of the global diabetic footwear market. Diabetic footwear is very helpful and comfortable to use for diabetic patient treatment. They help reduce the damage to the skin in diabetic patients with pre-existing diet problems. Therefore, diabetic patients increasingly focus on using diabetic footwear. For example, according to the National Library of Medicine on February 17th, 2021, therapeutic footwear is used to prevent ulcer recurrence in patients with a history of diabetic feet. Additionally, according to World Health Organization data for 2022, globally, nearly 422 million people have diabetes, and 1.5 million deaths are directly attributed to diabetes each year. Both the number of cases and the prevalence of diabetes have been steadily increasing over the past few years. Diabetic footwear gives extra protection and comfort to their sensitive feet. As a result, the market for global diabetic footwear is expanding.
The increase in research and development activities, as well as technological advancements and modernization, are driving factors in the global diabetic footwear market. For example, according to Indian Institute of Science researchers in the department of mechanical engineering, research has developed a set of unique self-regulating footwear for people with diabetes. The footwear, which consists of specially designed sandals, is 3D printed and can be tailored to an individual's foot dimensions and walking style. Additionally, according to the Counseling of Scientific and Industrial Research on March 11th, 2022, the CSIR successfully conducted research, designed, and developed a webinar on diabetic footwear. Diabetic footwear provides better motion control and promotes circulation, as well as reducing foot problems in high-pressure areas of the foot and others. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for research and development activities.
However, the higher cost of diabetic shoes and less awareness about global diabetic footwear are projected to restrain the market's growth. Furthermore, technological and medical advancements are expected to bode well for market growth in the global diabetic footwear market in the near future.
Geographically, North America accounts for the leading share of the diabetic footwear market. Rising awareness of diabetes among the public has resulted in rising demand for diabetic footwear in the region. Diabetic footwear has several advantages for the patient, including improved motion control, increased circulation, the prevention of skin breakdown, and many other beneficial factors that will drive the North American region. For example, according to the American Diabetes Association, the organization is focused on programme in the U.S. to raise awareness of diabetes, its protection, and its treatment among the general population. The result is to raise the demand for diabetic footwear and launch new products from manufacturers and new technological inventions. For example, according to the Innovation News Network on April 01st 2022, the University of Texas has developed a self-adjusting shoe insole to relieve pressure from diabetic foot ulcers. Additionally, on May 04th 2019, the Diabetic Foot and Self-Awareness Survey at the Mexican Institute of Social Security in Puebla included 360 patients surveyed to relate the level of knowledge about self-care of the feet in diabetic patients to its stages. Therefore, the North American diabetic footwear market is rising due to increasing awareness of the causes of diabetes among the population.
Asia-Pacific is the second-dominant region of the diabetic footwear market. Diabetic shoes reduce the risk of diabetic foot ulcers, lowering the risk of complications, and thus increasing demand for diabetic footwear in the Asia-Pacific region. For example, the high prevalence of diabetes in India was reported in the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology in November 2021. Furthermore, according to the Economic Times of November 12th, 2021, nearly 74 million people in India suffer from diabetes. It has produced significant reductions in peak plantar pressure in static and dynamic analysis and, being more efficient than common footwear, could contribute to the prevention of injuries associated with diabetic feet. Hence, there is increasing demand for diabetic footwear, such that China is a rapidly expanding market for therapeutic shoes.
