The hiking footwear segment was valued at USD 7,982.86 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. As China is one of the largest exporters of hiking shoes and the United States is a major consumer of hiking shoes, the segment is expected to face a significant amount of growth challenges during the forecast period. Therefore, the hiking shoes segment is set to grow slowly during the forecast period.
The surging demand for eco-friendly footwear is a prominent trend shaping market growth, with vendors like La Sportiva and Adidas focusing on environmentally conscious hiking and trail running shoes. These companies utilize materials like faux leather and ethically sourced synthetics to create vegan-friendly options, such as La Sportiva's Trango GTX hiking shoes. Simultaneously, the global e-commerce boom, particularly in countries like the United States, China, and India, contributes significantly to market growth. Key players like Nike, Adidas, and Puma leverage online retail channels, enhancing international reach and providing consumers with accessible product comparisons. The combination of eco-friendly trends and the e-commerce surge is expected to propel market growth in the forecast period.
The market faces obstacles due to the threat of travel-related diseases, deterring hikers and trail runners. Limited access to medical facilities in remote areas necessitates carrying first aid kits, addressing common issues like diarrheal and respiratory diseases. Additionally, the aging global population presents a significant challenge, as health concerns like arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease limit elderly participation in outdoor activities like hiking and trekking. The rise in the elderly demographic boosts the demand for indoor fitness activities, reducing the demand for outdoor apparel like hiking and trail sportswear.
