Manufacturers are emphasizing on cutting-edge product packaging to improve the usability of foot care products.
A broad range of products and integrated personal care features are expected to give a profitable potential for the growth of the global market. Furthermore, the increased demand for these multipurpose products has opened up new channels for new competitors to enter the market. Thus, new firms are joining the markets in Asia-Pacific and Europe by bringing innovative products, increasing the foot care products market size.
Moreover, local consumers who shop in the mass market have a strong preference for organic foot care products, such as those created at home, organics, and essential oil-based goods. Organic foot care products are primarily purchased by end consumers through regular supply chains. In addition, SMEs in Europe and Asia-Pacific are engaged in focusing on online sales channels, to boost the sales volume.
Furthermore, the sale of locally produced items in the international market has increased significantly. This is due to the expansion of the internet and increased awareness of e-commerce distribution channels. SMEs have invested more money in a range of marketing and advertising initiatives to raise consumer knowledge of their products. Surge in consumer demand for organic and natural cosmetics along with a rise in the mass market penetration of organic foot care products are the factors projected to drive the growth of the market. Thus it has increased foot care products market share.
Globally, the main cause of counterfeiting of cosmetics in the e-commerce industry is on a rapid rise. This is explained by the fact that fake items have infiltrated the internet marketplace and are now available to customers everywhere. As per the Financial Times research, there has been a 12.8% surge in the online distribution of non-grocery goods, which accounts for approximately 24.3% of the overall sales. Therefore, the online distribution channels have experienced considerable growth in the last few years due to a surge in the sale of counterfeit goods on e-commerce platforms, and this trend is expected to continue during the projected period.
As so many consumers are buying products through online channels, the cosmetics business has been severely impacted by counterfeit activities. In addition, the rise in the ubiquity of counterfeit goods is caused by people who buy cosmetics not being loyal to their brands. Owing to an increase in the distribution of counterfeit items, businesses in the foot care products industry have experienced issues with decreased sales volume. Therefore, it is anticipated that ineffective supply chain management will impede the rise in counterfeit activities, which will impede revenue growth throughout the projection period.
Companies operating in the market face challenges from fake product distributors, thus witnessing a decline in terms of sales and impacting foot care products market growth. Such increased counterfeit activities due to lack of effective supply chain management is expected to hamper the revenue growth of the market during the forecast period.
As there is a specialized market for foot care products, there are chances for small and mid-sized businesses to enter this industry. Given the limited presence of the diverse competitors who currently dominate the foot care sector, stakeholders intend to invest in and grow their businesses through the development of new products. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) can therefore benefit from high-end foot care products.
Additionally, a number of businesses have solely concentrated on the marketing and sales of innovative foot care products. For instance, in 2019, Orpyx, a leader in digital health therapies, introduced Orpyx SI Sensory Insoles with remote patient monitoring to help avoid ulcers associated with neuropathy and diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Therefore, it is expected that the combination of all these variables would present lucrative chances for the growth of the global market and will increase foot care products market demand.
