Global Footwear Market Trends:
The increasing demand for superior quality footwear with enhanced convenience and comfort are majorly driving the market growth across the globe. This is further supported by rising health concerns, which has prompted manufacturers to launch sports-focused footwear, such as football, cricket, basketball, and golf. In line with this, exponential investments by governments of various nations and global organizations to promote brands in sports leagues and participation, including Formula 1 (F1) car racing, Olympics, and the FIFA world cup, are also catalyzing the market growth. Moreover, key players are considerably investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce innovative product variants, such as eco-friendly footwear manufactured using sustainable materials and smart shoes consisting of pressure sensors to facilitate easy functioning of self-lacing, which is acting as another major growth-inducing factor. Besides this, the proliferation of smart phones, easy internet connectivity, and an increasing number of e-commerce platforms have enabled companies to offer enhanced convenience to users via flexible payment methods, easy return or exchange policies, and monetary benefits, which, in turn, is propelling the global sales of footwear.
