The importance of shoes for a particular activity has expanded the market, as specific shoes are required for particular activity. The specification of shoes not only depends on the activity but also on other factors such as age, gender, weight, and any previous injury to the back or ankle or any other part of the leg.
- Demand for running shoes has seen an upward trend since the last few years due to increasing popularity of outdoor activities. This factor, coupled with increasing disposable income and inclination toward physical fitness is expected to drive the global running shoes market during the forecast period.
Key Drivers and Opportunities of the Global Running Shoes Market
