Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 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.
The rising prominence of hiking and trail running as outdoor recreational activities is driving the market growth. The growing adoption of a healthy lifestyle, especially in the US, Canada, and China, has resulted in a positive impact on the market. Moreover, outdoor recreational activities like hiking and trail running also serve as cardio workouts, helping to reduce the risk of heart disease and boosting bone density. Other health benefits include lowered blood sugar and blood pressure levels, as well as building core muscle strength and overall body balance.
Moreover, government initiatives and investment into the development of hiking and trail running infrastructure, among other outdoor recreational activities, are increasing participation in outdoor recreational activities. Such trends will drive the market during the forecast period. Yet another factor that boosts the market growth is the increasing popularity of adventure tourism, such as hiking, trekking, biking, and skiing. Other factors like increasing disposable income in both developed and emerging economies will also propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The use of social media marketing is one of the major market trends. The rising popularity of blogging and consumer engagement on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube has compelled companies to use these channels for marketing activities. For example, Nike Inc. uses video advertising, collaborations with influencers, and personalized recommendations to boost product sales.
Additionally, the increasing Internet penetration and the popularity of E-commerce have also provided alternate channels for sales and expanded the scope of the market. It provides companies in the footwear new markets for expansion of their customer base and growth potential for the market. Hence, such factors will boost market growth during the forecast period.
The stringent government regulations for the procurement of raw materials such as leather is challenging market growth. Leather is one of the most common materials used to make various types of tactical footwear products. However, companies must adhere to stringent regulations about its usage for the production of leather, waste disposal, chemical usage, environmental protection, and recycling. This is especially observed in Germany, where numerous government bodies and associations regulate the leather industry. Environment protection measures cost 5% of the total operational cost manufacturers incur.
Moreover, the European Commission banned the usage of chromium VI in leather in 2014 due to health concerns. This severely impacted the operations of several manufacturers and suppliers associated with leather products sales including apparel, handbags, shoes, and belts. Such regulatory norms have increased the cost incurred by manufacturers and limited profitability. Hence such factors will limit the growth of the market during the forecast period.
