Non-athletic Footwear Market Growth and Trends

The non-athletic footwear category encompasses a wide range of options, including flip-flops, tactical, loafers, diabetic shoes, medical shoes, and others, suitable for various occasions. This category has attracted significant attention from both established and emerging players in the footwear industry, including niche brands and renowned designers. This heightened interest is primarily driven by the increasing consumer preference for environmentally friendly sneakers and other types of footwear.

The demand for casual and non-athletic footwear that go well with different outfits has been driving the growth of the segment. Niche companies and startups are catering to millennial consumers by providing innovative products as these consumers are more inclined toward sustainability and ethical consumerism. For instance, Eco-Vegan Shoes offers a variety of non-athletic footwear styles such as ankle boots, heels, flats, and sneakers, all of which are certified by different eco-friendly organizations.

 

Sustainable Footwear Market Growth & Trends

The global sustainable footwear market size was estimated to reach USD 12.96 billion in 2030 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Over the past decade or so, consumers have become increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their purchasing decisions. They are more conscious of the materials used in products, their sourcing, and the carbon footprint associated with their production. This heightened awareness has led many consumers to seek eco-friendly alternatives, including footwear.

Innovations in sustainable materials, such as recycled plastics, organic cotton, and renewable materials like bamboo or cork, have enabled footwear manufacturers to create products that align with eco-friendly values. In addition, eco-conscious production methods, such as reduced waste, energy efficiency, and ethical labor practices, have become more prevalent in the industry.

 

Traditional/Non-sustainable Footwear Market Growth and Trends

Fashion trends and changing styles heavily influence the demand for non-sustainable footwear. Consumers who prioritize the latest fashion trends and designs may opt for non-sustainable options, as they tend to offer a wider variety of styles and designs. Non-sustainable footwear often comes at a lower price point compared to sustainable alternatives. Cost-conscious consumers may prioritize affordability over sustainability when making purchasing decisions.

The younger consumer groups lay huge emphasis on aspects such as color, design, and shape of products. The demand for custom-made shoes and apparel is also gaining traction among many elite runners who have the means to spend heavily on footwear. On the other hand, new and occasional runners are likely to be satisfied with off-the-rack products.
