The global sneakers market size is expected to reach USD 128.34 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.2% from 2022 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The advent of 3D printing on sneakers and the growing penetration of the internet & smartphones are leading to an increase in the inclination toward online medium as it offers the flexibility to choose, which, in turn, is further increasing the growth of the global market. In addition, the increased population, changing fashion trends, and penetration of the internet & smartphones drive the market. However, the availability of counterfeit products may hamper the growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the industry. The short-term shutdown of factories and interruption in the new collection release were the key factors that affected the growth. Manufacturing plants were shut and production in China disturbed the supply chain of raw materials, thereby impacting the global industry in 2020. The impact of the pandemic has also pushed back certain release dates as a handful of coveted Jordans that were set to drop in March marked their way to Nike.com, SNKRS, and other places at a later date. Moreover, Adidas AG and Puma Inc. reported drastic losses in their revenues in 2020.
The online segment is likely to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Online buying permits customers to find a variety of sneakers that are not available in a physical store. There are so many more options to choose from at online shops. The users can simply browse through numerous brands. The development of this industry will have to keep up with customer preferences as they demand more comfort as well as convince in online shopping. Asia Pacific accounted for the largest revenue share in 2021. China was the major country in the region in terms of share.
