A Future Market Insights (FMI) analysis projects that the orthopedic insole market would surpass US$ 4.9 Bn by 2021. Although getting a pair of personalised shoes may seem like a luxury or indulgence, medical issues like diabetes, club foot, or amputations frequently need it. Orthopedic insole sales have increased as a result of the rising incidence of numerous disorders that impact the feet and general health. Doctors now understand that changing shoes can solve many physical issues. Flat feet, poor posture, and other issues can all be resolved by correcting the feet. The National Institutes of Health provides a list of various foot conditions for which orthopaedic shoes manufactured to order are recommended.
Custom foot orthotics are specially made to fit the wearer’s prescription specifications, considering the specific medical condition, the assessment of limb length and the measurements of legs and feet. This makes them more effective and efficient compared to mass-produced prefabricated foot orthotics which can be easily purchased from malls or drugstores. Custom orthotics encourage natural, preferred motion so that there is no strain on the feet. In instances where customers require unique footwear for medical reasons, not all style requirements can be met. However, a skilled shoe craftsman can work with customers to design a fashionable as well as functional style.

Sustainability Concerns Impacting Orthopedic Insoles Sales
Sustainability is the new hot topic in the footwear industry, after decades of fast fashion and superfluous production chains. Along with customization, eco-friendly materials and ethical production are the other emerging trends. With brands constantly launching new products, collections & designs, sustainability is one among many deciding factors for brand value. Sustainable orthopedic insoles have been promoted by the release of several eco-friendly designs produced from recycled post-production foam. For instance, with its first insole back in 1997, OrthoLite introduced eco-friendly products engineered with game-changing technology that repurposed rubber waste. At Superfeet, sustainability has been incorporated into its latest product offering, the Me3D series. Me3D offers fully customized insoles produced from a 3-D scan that is then 3-D-printed to exact measurement (minimizing waste) as part of a collaboration with HP Fitstation.
Orthopedic insoles purchase pattern is dependent on the material, sustainability quotient and purpose. Functional orthopedic insoles are very effective in alleviating symptoms and establishing proper alignment. According to the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine, soft materials such as Neoprene, various open- and closed-cell foams or similar cushioning materials may be used in conjunction with functional foot orthoses to provide both support and comfort. Developing products with innovative and new designs and styles is one of the most common trends observed in the industry. This change in consumer buying preference has encouraged the players in the market to stimulate innovation and expand the portfolio, tapping the unexposed segments of the industry and as a result escalating the demand over the forecast period.
In terms of insole type, prefabricated orthopedic insoles dominate the market. Prefabricated insoles are preferred for use by patients with diabetes and neuropathy. The forecast trend, however, reflects a promising growth scenario for custom orthopedic insoles.
