The global plantar fasciitis treatment market size was estimated at USD 1.28 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 3.45 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 11.9% from 2025 to 2033. The market growth is driven by rising prevalence of obesity, an aging population, and an increase in heel and foot strain cases caused by prolonged standing or high-impact activities.
Increasing awareness among patients about foot health, better access to specialized care, and the adoption of advanced treatment options are further supporting market expansion. Hospitals, clinics, and outpatient facilities are emphasizing early diagnosis and effective management of foot-related conditions. Combined, these factors are fueling demand for therapeutic interventions, driving consistent growth and encouraging innovation within the heel and foot care segment.
Although governments rarely provide exact global case figures, estimates suggest that approximately 1 million patient visits yearly are due to plantar fasciitis. Research indicates that around 10% of the population experience plantar fasciitis at some point, with 83% of affected individuals being active working adults aged 25 to 65. Some studies report prevalence rates as high as 22% among runners.
Developments in image-guided interventions, ultrasound-guided injections, and minimally invasive mechanical or sonic therapies improve targeting, reduce recovery time, and enhance efficacy, thus increasing physician and patient adoption. In July 2025, a study published in the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation compared the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and corticosteroids in treating plantar fasciitis. The results indicated that PRP provided superior pain relief and improved foot function over corticosteroid injections. In addition, in July 2025, a study by King George's Medical University researchers in Lucknow explored the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided dextrose prolotherapy versus PRP injections for chronic heel pain. The study found that both treatments significantly reduced pain and improved foot function, with PRP demonstrating slightly superior outcomes.
