Diabetic Shoes Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 - 2024

Global Diabetic Shoes Market: Description

Diabetics face an increased risk of various skin-related ailments including ulcers, as complications caused by the disease lead to improper blood circulation in the lower limbs. Diabetic shoes are designed to promote blood circulation, thereby decreasing the risk of foot ulcers among patients. Among diabetics, unprotected feet are susceptible to injury due to insufficient blood flow, decreased sensation, foot deformities, dry cracked skin, and slow wound healing. All these factors have propelled the demand for diabetic shoes.

The global diabetic shoes market operates through a network of store-based and non-store-based retail distributors. The store-based distribution channel has been further categorized into departmental stores and chains, specialty stores, shoe stores, and others. The non-store-based distribution channel has grown significantly in the past couple of years due to the introduction of e-commerce. The non-store-based distribution channel includes the online channels of various participants in the supply chain of the market.

Global Diabetic Shoes Market: Impact Factors

Increasing prevalence of diabetes has propelled demand for diabetic shoes. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of patients suffering from diabetes has nearly quadrupled since 1980. Around 422 million people across the world are suffering from diabetes. Diabetes accounted for 1.5 million deaths across the globe in 2012. According to the American Diabetic Association, around 600,000 diabetics in the U.S. suffer from foot ulcers every year, leading to about 80,000 amputations. Growing awareness about diabetes and counseling for proper foot care are likely to accelerate the growth of the global diabetic shoes market.

Extensive research by shoe manufacturers regarding the development of innovative diabetic shoes is anticipated increase demand for diabetic shoes. A majority of diabetics does not wear the prescribed footwear and usually demand customized diabetic shoes. Technologies such as shoe implants are expected to address these issues. Shoe implants can remind patients to wear their shoes and can detect weaknesses in the soles of feet with the help of sensor mats. Manufacturers are also focusing on lighter, pressure-reliving diabetic shoes or sandals as patients find them easier for indoor use.
