Global Sustainable Footwear Market

The Global Sustainable Footwear Market was worth USD 8.4 Billion in 2021 and is estimated to be USD 12 Billion growing at a CAGR of 4.91 % from 2022 to 2027. 

Sustainable footwear is primarily made from recycled waste or upcycling waste, and it involves an environmentally friendly manufacturing process. Natural fibres, as well as upcycled and recycled materials, can be used in sustainable shoe materials. As a result, these shoes have a positive impact on environmental conservation. They reduce toxic waste by using recycled materials.

All footwear that is designed, developed, and manufactured with minimal environmental impact is considered sustainable footwear. Sustainable footwear has grown in popularity over the years as a result of environmental concerns.

Market Drivers

Over time, the footwear industry has evolved by observing consumer patterns and activities. In this regard, the on-the-go lifestyle of millennials has encouraged manufacturers to increase their production scale, particularly in the sneaker category. Consumers expect versatility, comfort, functionality, sustainability, and performance in a variety of settings, according to the NDP Group. Over the years, sustainability has been identified as a key trend. This is one of the factors responsible for driving the growth of the Sustainable Footwear Market Globally.

Market Restraints

One of the major challenges confronting the market for sustainable footwear is the lengthy manufacturing process. Sustainable footwear typically contains inseparable and decomposable materials, but it employs harmful chemicals during the manufacturing process. The raw materials needed to make sustainable footwear are more expensive than the raw materials used to make conventional footwear.

Market Segmentation


The Global Sustainable Footwear Market is segmented into Product (Athletic, Non-Athletic), End-use (Men, Women, Kids), Distribution(Online stores, Specialty stores, Supermarket/Hypermarkets, Others) and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & South Africa).

Regional Analysis


When it comes to making responsible footwear choices, Asia Pacific (APAC) brands are ahead of the pack. Through funding sustainable innovations in Bangladesh, India, and Vietnam, sustainability-focused initiatives such as "Fashion for Good" aim to trigger structural changes throughout the footwear and apparel supply chain.

In a similar vein, sustainable footwear brands are emerging in Europe to meet demand while also helping to transform the footwear industry for the better. The growing number of fashion-conscious consumers willing to pay a premium for the products they value is attracting the attention of stakeholders.


Industry Developments


Adidas is creating and testing footwear made entirely of recyclable materials. Furthermore, the brand has publicly pledged to use only eco-friendly materials in their products by 2024. Giesswein footwear is made entirely of Merino wool from small, independent farmlands where animal welfare is a top priority. It has also implemented a zero-waste policy, which requires that all leftover wool scraps from the manufacturing process be recycled and blended into other products. Reebok has unveiled a running shoe made from plant-based materials rather than petroleum-based materials. Reformation uses bio-based materials instead of plastic inside their heels, and water-based adhesives instead of the toxic glues that most manufacturers rely on for shoe assembly.
