Market Overview

The global industry of custom foot orthotics involves personalized, prescription-based devices designed for correcting biomechanical foot disorders, improving alignment, and alleviating pain by matching the unique contour of an individual’s feet. Orthotics available at your local pharmacy or grocery store are helpful for cushioning your feet, but not correcting the foot issues or relieving pain. For that, custom orthotics are needed for lasting relief from foot problems, which would be fitted by your podiatrist. Custom orthotics can provide relief from a wide range of foot, ankle, and toe problems, including fallen arches, hammertoes, bunions, plantar fasciitis, and gait problems.

Innovation and market expansion are anticipated as a result of major players' growing R&D expenditures and advancements like 3D printing and sophisticated material technologies for producing highly customized and effective orthotic solutions. Further, small biotech firms and startups emphasizing orthotics marketing, which aid in gaining market share in the niche segments, are driving a huge surge in the global custom foot orthotics market. For instance, in January 2024, Podiatry Content Connection, a leader in digital marketing solutions for the podiatric community, announced its new partnership with SOLO Labs, a renowned custom orthotics manufacturer.
