DRIVING FACTORS

Growing Prevalence of Diabetes and Significant Rise in Geriatric Population to Accelerate the Foot Orthotic Insoles Market Growth

The senior population is more prone to diabetes, foot disease, joint and back pain, and other conditions, which require foot orthotic insoles for pain relief or comfort. Moreover, diabetes is a rapidly growing health condition in emerging economies such as India. According to data published by the National Centre for Disease Informatics and Research in 2022, there will be 69.9 million cases of diabetes in India by 2050. Hence, the orthotic insoles market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow over the forecast period owing to the growing prevalence of diabetes and the significant rise in the geriatric population as it requires foot orthotic insoles for pain relief.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Costs Associated with R&D Activities to Limit the Market Growth 

Lack of adoption and awareness regarding foot orthotic insoles in developing countries such as India is projected to hamper the market growth to a certain extent. The high costs associated with the use of cutting-edge technology, such as usage of high-frequency and shock-absorbing materials required for customized foot insoles, could limit the market growth. Furthermore, due to lack of service capacity, the demand for these insoles is restrained in emerging economies. The customers in this market face difficulties due to the lack of demand and supply variables. In addition, low-income and middle-income countries’ healthcare companies do not have enough product offerings to meet customer demand, hindering the growth of the market.
