Market Share by Material

The rubber segment, based on material, holds a healthy share of the footwear sole material market. This can be attributed to the resistance to slipping, enhanced grip, great elasticity, and excellent performance on harsh and treacherous terrains that are supported by rubber footwear sole materials. In addition, rubber soles are resistant to water, oil, mud, and various types of liquids which makes them suited for long-term wear. Meanwhile, the plastics segment is expected to attain a healthy growth in the forecast period, owing to the lightweight and resistance to wear and tear offered by the product. 

 

Market Share by End-Consumer

Based on end-consumer, the men segment accounts for a significant share in the footwear sole material market. The growth of this segment is being driven by the growing popularity of high-end running shoes, formal footwear, and sneakers, among men. While women are major consumers of footwear, they tend to purchase footwear with simpler soles such as sandals for fashion purposes whereas men purchase footwear thicker soles for sports and activities. In the coming years, women end-consumers are expected to witness a steady growth in the market, owing to the increasing number of working women across the emerging economies and increased women participating in sports.
