Increased Marketing Activity and Distribution Channel Improvement will drive the Market’s growth
One of the few health issues with untapped awareness levels includes foot health. Foot health issues such as those with toenails, joint and nerve issues around the toes, skin conditions of the feet, injuring the foot, arthritis, and diabetic foot ulcers have been garnering attention over the recent past. The global foot care products market is thus expanding with an increase in the popularity of self-care programs, and surging demand for wellness and foot care products. Foot care products market will rise due to increased product demand due to excellent knowledge about maintaining a skincare routine and self-care programs. Key companies in foot care products market are augmenting their manufacturing capabilities and product portfolios by offering sanitizing items to consumers. The increased necessity of handwashing and the requirement for a hygienic routine due to the COVID-19 epidemic have also contributed to the rise of market.
The number of people suffering from foot infections has increased dramatically due to various factors, including diabetes. Diabetes will affect approximately 537 million persons aged 20 to 79 in 2021. The global diabetic population is estimated to reach 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. The continual increase in the number of diabetic patients will propel the use of foot care products in the coming years. The growing popularity of foot care services such as pedicure has increased demand for foot care products such as gel, cleansers, and lotions, assisting market expansion. E-commerce expansion and rise as a preferred distribution channel will be a major booster to foot care products market. As of 2021, the number of digital buyers stands at 2.14 billion.

Market consumers are using online retail platforms to purchase skincare and cosmetic products. Customers are drawn to online e-commerce platforms by the availability of customer feedback, and high levels of involvement.
Medical Sector Dominates Foot Care Products Market due to Higher Prevalence of Chronic Feet, and Skin Conditions
The medical category will account for most of the global foot care products market in the forecast period. The increased use of foot care products in medical applications has supported the segment's growth, owing to rising living standards and advanced knowledge of the goods' benefits. An increase in the frequency of skin cancers such as melanoma and non-melanoma, as well as active government activities to combat skin cancer, are expected to drive demand for foot care products. Medical foot care products are primarily driven by the market's demand for natural-based active component products, which are currently trendy. Consumers want medical foot care products that are good for their health and the environment. The buyers are kept up to date on trends. Thus, numerous companies end up producing such things to satisfy customers.
Ascending Consumer Spending on Foot Care and Skincare Products Drives Market in Asia Pacific
In the forecast period, Asia Pacific will be the most important market, accounting for the largest share. This is due to a growth in the spending power of the Asia-Pacific population, an increase in urbanization, a diverse client base, and a taste for various cosmetics and personal care goods. Consumers in this region are more interested in skincare-related products. People are increasingly demanding natural and organic cosmetics rather than synthetics. As such products are easy to carry, the surge in preference for beautiful and compact packaging for travel has contributed to the expansion of the foot care products market.
China accounts for more than one-third of the market. After the United States, China has the world's second-largest foot and skincare market. In 2019, the typical Chinese consumer spent 39 yuan on foot and skincare products. Consumers in first-tier cities spent an average of 183 yuan per capita, which was more than four times higher than the national average. With the growing usage of foot and skincare products in China, the regional market will flourish in the coming years.
North America is predicted to expand quicker for the global foot care products market due to rising population spending on health and personal care items, which results in large profits from such products. Consumer interest in beauty-related foot care products that wash, exfoliate, moisturize, and give aesthetic therapy has prompted numerous providers to develop new and creative beauty-related foot care products. Medication and devices account for a large portion of the industry in the United States and are the fastest-growing categories of the foot care product market. Many pharmacists, and drug stores in nations like Canada, and Mexico contribute significantly to market growth in the region. According to data from the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities, there were 45,651 Pharmacists in Canada as of January 2020.

Disclaimer:
Considering the volatility of business today, traditional approaches to strategizing a game plan can be unfruitful if not detrimental. True ambiguity is no way to determine a forecast. A myriad of predetermined factors must be accounted for such as the degree of risk involved, the magnitude of circumstances, as well as conditions or consequences that are not known or unpredictable. To circumvent binary views that cast uncertainty, the application of market research intelligence to strategically posture, move, and enable actionable outcomes is necessary.
