The athletic footwear market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.15% from 2021 – 2026, driven in part by the following trends:

• Desire for a healthier, less sedentary lifestyle is propelling more consumers to take up physical activity
• Increasing environmental consciousness is driving consumers to seek out footwear made with more sustainable materials
• Growing demand for customized and premium shoes is driving a wide array of styling

To respond to these demands, footwear manufacturers are investing in digitalized process to manage the growing complexity of footwear manufacturing.
