Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the safety shoes market growth is the increase in stringent safety standards for manufacturing safety shoes. The rise in safety standards by regulatory bodies will force end-user industries to adhere to safety practices such as the use of safety shoes. In addition, non-adherence to the guidelines may result in heavy penalties issued by regulatory bodies such as OSHA. Furthermore, ANSI makes it mandatory for the manufacturers of safety shoes to meet performance standards.
Moreover, some of the criteria that need to be met by industrial safety shoe manufacturers include the safety shoes being impact and compression-resistant as well as offering similar protection against falling objects. In addition, the manufacturers need to produce industrial safety shoes that meet the criteria set by regulatory bodies will reinforce wearer safety. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the safety shoe market growth is the use of lightweight raw materials for making safety shoes. There is an increasing focus by companies on using lightweight raw materials when designing safety shoes as the weight can reduce the productivity of the wearers. In addition, heavy shoes may cause discomfort to wearers due to increased heat and sweat, low ventilation, and allergies.
Moreover, workers are often required to wear safety shoes for a long duration or throughout their work hours. As a result, optimizing the weight of shoes is critical to the manufacturing of safety shoes as they are used by industrial end-users. Therefore, several manufacturers are working on the development of materials and products that incorporate protection, comfort, and style, all in the same footwear. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
Regular maintenance of safety shoes is one of the key challenges hindering the safety shoe market growth. Safety shoes need regular maintenance to keep the shoes in usable condition. In addition, most types of safety shoes are made of leather, and the work environment defines their lifespan. Furthermore, in certain work environments, workers are exposed to cement, mud, and various other harsh conditions.
Moreover, in such conditions, a thick film of mud or cement over the safety shoes tends to dehydrate the leather, as dry mud and cement have an affinity for water. As a result, this leads to dry cracks all over the shoes. Therefore, it becomes essential to moisturize the leather to avoid wear and tear. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
