Foot Orthotic Insoles Market size is anticipated to grow by USD 5.39 billion, with a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. By the year 2025, the foot orthotic insoles industry’s worth is projected to be around USD 4.24 billion.
The demand for foot orthotic insoles is rapidly rising due to the increasing prevalence of diabetes and arthritis globally. According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), diabetes is one of the top 10 leading causes of disability and death, and global cases of diabetes are expected to reach 1.3 billion by 2050. A similar analysis by IHME published in August 2023 states that more than 1 billion people will be living with osteoarthritis by 2050. This rising prevalence has encouraged healthcare industry giants to develop foot orthotic insoles with advanced technologies. For instance, in September 2020, Aetrex, a global player in designing and developing comfort shoes, orthotics, and wellness products announced the launch of the thinnest 3D-printed insoles in partnership with EOS.
Besides this, the rising cases of musculoskeletal disorders are expected to boost the overall foot orthotic insoles market growth. As per recent data by WHO, around 1.71 billion people in the world are living with musculoskeletal disorders. The primary reasons for this cause of harsh work environment and performance work. However, the person with musculoskeletal can carry on their chores pain-free by using foot insoles.
