Analyst Opinion

Following the Sneakers segment, the Athletic Footwear segment is projected to see the second-largest increase in revenue numbers between 2022 and 2027. Although the segment accounted for the lowest revenue numbers in the Footwear market in 2022, it is expected to grow with the increasing implementation of the latest technologies and materials. Additionally, a rise in athletic footwear purchases can be observed following the hit of the COVID-19 pandemic. This upward trend can be attributed to an increased interest in sports.

The Athletic Footwear segment focuses on designs with materials other than polyester. Not only is having footwear made from knit technology or lightweight, breathable, and durable fabrics of importance to consumers, but it also has a positive impact on the environment. As such, key players in the market are aiming to make the manufacturing process as sustainable as possible in order to produce environmentally-friendly shoes.
