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.

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.
