For example, according to the World Population Prospects 2022, India is projected to have 1.51 billion by 2030 from 1.41 billion in 2022. There is a significant change in the demographics from rural to urban, positively impacting the demand for footwear globally. This is highlighted by the United Nations Population Division data, which states that in 2023, 57% of the global population lived in urban centers, compared to 51% in 2010. Alongside this, the rising disposable income is leading people to spend more on premium and branded footwear, driving the market growth.
• Rising Fitness Trend: The booming fitness trend among the millennials has led to an upsurge in sports activities such as gymming, cycling, aerobics, and others. This is increasing the demand for footwear that is lightweight and comfortable for athletes.  The rising health issues have also led elderly people to be involved in some activities that can help them maintain good health, driving the demand for athletic footwear. It will continue in the future, along with the involvement of elderly people due to rising health issues. As per the data by the Wellness Creative Co., a health and fitness marketing agency, there are 72 million gym members in the USA, 23.7% of the population, highlighting health and fitness awareness among people.

Additionally, an increase in the number of sports events, driving demand for athletic footwear, is positively impacting this segment’s growth during the forecast period. The market is witnessing advancements in footwear technology, such as the use of lightweight materials, further driving demand.

Along with their rising disposable income, there is a boost in demand for non-athletic footwear. Furthermore, a wide number of shoe manufacturers offering custom designs and textures tailored to the consumer's needs and preferences are also bolstering this segment's market growth in the coming five years.
