Podiatric products encompass medical devices, footwear, and treatments specifically intended for diagnosing, treating, or managing conditions of the foot and ankle. These products are frequently recommended or prescribed by podiatrists to address structural abnormalities, injuries, or chronic disorders affecting the lower limbs.
The primary categories of podiatric products include orthotics, braces and supports, gels and pads, footwear, and other related items. Orthotics consist of custom-made or prefabricated devices designed to support, align, prevent, or correct deformities, or to enhance the function of the musculoskeletal system's movable parts. These products incorporate various diagnostic tools such as gait analysis software, foot pressure measurement systems, 3D foot scanners, ultrasound devices, and X-ray machines. They are distributed via direct sales, healthcare provider networks, online platforms, and additional channels. Podiatric products serve multiple purposes including the prevention and treatment of foot conditions, management of chronic ailments, wound care and healing, post-surgical rehabilitation, and more. They are utilized by a range of end users such as hospitals and clinics, outpatient centers, retail pharmacies, online stores, and others.

The podiatric products market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.66 billion in 2024 to $4.93 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth observed in the historic period can be credited to the rising occurrence of foot conditions related to diabetes, an aging population, heightened awareness of foot health, and increased involvement in sports and fitness activities.
The podiatric products market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.08 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The projected growth in the forecast period is driven by a growing demand for custom orthotics and 3D-printed insoles, greater availability of over-the-counter (OTC) foot care products, rising popularity of minimally invasive podiatric procedures, the expanding role of e-commerce in medical retail, and a growing emphasis on aesthetic foot care and cosmetic podiatry. Key trends expected in the forecast period include wearable foot devices, 3D printing for custom orthotics, the integration of mobile apps for foot health, smart footwear, and the use of biosensor technology for gait analysis.
The growing prevalence of foot and ankle disorders is expected to drive the expansion of the podiatric products market in the future. These disorders include conditions that affect the feet and ankles, such as pain, swelling, injuries, or deformities, which can hinder walking, standing, or moving comfortably. The aging population plays a significant role in the rise of foot and ankle issues, as older individuals are more susceptible to conditions such as osteoarthritis and tendonitis due to the natural wear and tear of joints. Podiatric products help manage these disorders by offering support, pain relief, and corrective solutions, such as orthotics, footwear, braces, and diagnostic tools that improve mobility and prevent further complications. For example, in November 2024, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reported that approximately 24% of individuals over the age of 45 experience foot and/or ankle pain, while between 18% and 75% of people of all ages suffer from specific foot problems, including hallux valgus, corns, calluses, and nail disorders. As a result, the increasing prevalence of foot and ankle disorders is fueling the growth of the podiatric products market.
To meet the rising demand for convenient, effective, and accessible foot care, major companies in the podiatric products market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as over-the-counter podiatry products. These non-prescription solutions are designed to treat common foot issues, including odor, infections, and dryness, providing a convenient and accessible way to care for feet on a daily basis. For instance, in April 2023, Sonoma Pharmaceuticals Inc. launched Podiacyn Advanced Everyday Foot Care, an all-natural over-the-counter product aimed at promoting daily foot health. Utilizing the company's patented Microcyn technology, Podiacyn offers antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits to treat foot odor, infections, and irritations. Free from dyes, fragrances, and preservatives, it is safe for sensitive skin and comes in an easy-to-use spray form. These innovations are intended to address common foot health problems, such as infections, odor, dryness, and inflammation, without requiring a prescription.
