The global foot orthotic insoles market size is expected to reach USD 5.78 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.0% according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. An increase in the obese and geriatric population is the major factor that drives the growth. A rise in the demand for customized foot orthotic insoles is anticipated to provide ample opportunity for the market over the forecast period. The initial price of buying orthotic insoles is depressing healthcare providers as well as individuals from investing in them which is expected to contract demand. Also, limited awareness across emerging countries is likely to hamper the product’s penetration.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the growth of the foot orthotic insoles industry. Key players observed a drop in revenue in their orthotic business segments during the pandemic. However, the industry observed a resurgence in the sales figures of foot orthotic insoles in 2021. For instance, Hanger Inc. saw a drop in revenues in its business segment during 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Though, in 2021 the company observed a rise in its revenue. The market is expected to grow considerably over the forecast period.
The thermoplastics segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 55.0% in 2021. The high adoption of thermoplastic material for the manufacturing of foot orthotic insoles largely reduces plantar pressure. Therefore, this material is the foremost choice for manufacturers owing to its increased benefits. The increase in the implementation of these insoles for sports and athletic activities has surged the demand for effective shock-absorbing insole materials. Therefore, the thermoplastics segment generated large revenue in 2021.
North America acquired the largest revenue share in 2021. The large prevalence of diabetes, an increase in sports activities, and technological developments owing to large investments in R&D drive regional growth. According to estimates released by Milford Podiatry Associates, about 19% of the U.S. population suffers from an average of 1.4-foot problems annually. The increasing prevalence of foot disorders from underlying chronic conditions and external injuries is driving growth in this region.
Major market players include Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC; Hanger Inc.; Ottobock SE & Co. KGaA; Ossur hf; Algeo Limited; Bauerfeind AG; Groupe Gorge; Colfax Corporation; Superfeet Worldwide Inc.; Materialise NV; and Blatchford Group Limited. Several global manufacturers who have core competencies, as well as technical expertise, are taking efforts to manufacture and develop novel products that will attract more customers. Aetrex Worldwide Inc., for instance, manufactures a host of orthotics products that are largely suitable for patients suffering from plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, heel pain, arch, ball of foot discomfort, and foot aches arising from standing professions.
