The global foot care products market size was estimated at USD 21.32 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 38.25 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2025 to 2033. Consumers are increasingly recognising that foot health is a critical element of overall wellness, not just a cosmetic or comfort issue.
Every human being walks approximately 115,000 miles during their average lifetime, and 30% of people experience foot problems at some point in their lives. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) reports that approximately 43.1 million residents in the U.S. suffer from foot problems, which translates to nearly one in every six people. These issues range from minor ailments, such as blisters and ingrown toenails, to more serious conditions, which can be caused by factors including ill-fitting shoes, injuries, or underlying diseases.
The foot care products market has been considerably impacted by the increase in sports and athletic activities, which has increased consumer demand for customized insoles that improve performance and comfort and help reduce the risk of injury. The popularity and participation in sports and fitness activities have significantly increased over the past few decades. According to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), in 2024, the team sports category shows that there were roughly 8 million more team sports participants in 2023 than in 2022, an 11% increase.
People of all ages participate in various sports, from leisure cycling and running to team sports and endurance events. This has significantly driven the demand for sports footwear, which provides various advantages, including injury prevention, shock absorption, stability, and support. Moreover, key players operating in the market are also launching new sports footwear that incorporates such advantages.
For instance, in November 2024, Insollz launched a new orthotic insole designed for plantar fasciitis, heel pain, flat feet, and overpronation. It features a "dynamic fin design" for continuous support and claims to rival custom orthotics despite being a stock product.
In addition, growing parental awareness of enrolling their children in various sports in schools and professional clubs drives the demand for sports and athletic footwear and shoe insoles. Schools are among the prominent institutions that adapt to the changing sports arena and encourage both boys and girls to focus on overall development.
The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS High School Athletics Participation Survey) indicated that 8,266,244 participants were involved in high school sports in 2024-25, up 203,942 from the previous year and topping the previous record of 8,062,302 set in 2023-24. The total includes 4,726,648 boys and 3,539,596 girls, both record highs, according to figures obtained from the 51 NFHS member state associations, which include the District of Columbia.
Furthermore, sports activities can place immense stress on the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. Proper support and alignment are essential for maintaining stability and reducing the risk of overpronation or underpronation during dynamic movements. Shoe insoles with arch support and biomechanical features help athletes maintain proper foot alignment and reduce the risk of overuse injuries, thus driving the growth of shoe insoles in the foot care products market.
