Factors which are Driving this Market

Rising frequency of fashion fads and people’s rising tendency to follow them is set to be the key driving force for the emerging customized footwear market. Consumer behavior favoring customized shoes due to increased comfort and personalized style and a ballooning global population will also bolster demand.

Rapid urbanization worldwide, with 54% of the global population residing in urban areas, is another factor driving demand for customized footwear, as  urban people tend to have greater per capita expenditure on clothing and accessories. Further, rise in personal disposable incomes will propel growth in the market.

Increasing concern for health and fitness, especially among the urban population, will drive the demand for athletic customized footwear. Players are using increasing popularity of organized sports to their advantage and selling customized footwear for both players and fans. Rising popularity of online shopping and usage of social media, complemented by the development of 3-D printing technology, will further boost the market for customized footwear.

Growth Opportunities

Customized shoes are a relatively nascent and emerging market with a huge potential. As per the survey conducted on online portals, about 25% of footwear sold online is customized. This leaves 75% of consumers as potential customers for customized footwear if appropriately targeted. Entrants can use fashion trends to woo customers and capture a wide untapped market.

Major Barriers to Market Growth

However, high cost of products and limited customization pose hurdles to the growth of the market. Players need to offer greater degrees of customization to attract more customers. Further, the customers might not be easily willing to shift to lesser known or relatively unknown brands due to fear of inferior quality and substandard products. This further poses challenges for new entrants.
