Consumers around the world must be able to withstand the physiological restrictions caused by frigid temperatures. Utilized in colder climates, winter boots that are warm, waterproof, vapor permeable, and dry can effortlessly withstand the physiological limits imposed by cold weather. Moreover, carelessness in cold weather might be detrimental to one's health. In addition, if a person is physically strong and healthy, their body can better withstand the physiological constraints of cold weather.

These, which frequently accept the physiological limits imposed by cold weather with relative ease, impact people who already have a health problem and rise throughout the winter. As body temperature decreases, blood flow is focused in the center of the body, resulting in an increase in blood pressure and an increased burden on the heart.

When it is cold, the body uses more energy to generate heat to maintain body temperature. Activity-induced increases in heart rate and blood pressure, as well as the cold's effect of constricting arteries to lessen blood supply, are especially dangerous for the elderly, those with heart or circulation problems, and people unfit from a sedentary lifestyle and unaccustomed to vigorous exercise. Consumers require winter clothing and footwear due to the region's cold climate and desire for warmth. As a result, the winter footwear market is predicted to grow throughout the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a detrimental impact on the market for winter footwear, as many governments have implemented lockdowns to prevent the spread of the disease. As a result, the bulk of manufacturing facilities and operations were either temporarily or permanently shuttered, halting production for various businesses. In addition, trade restrictions drastically disrupted supply chains. In addition, other government agencies issued instructions and imposed travel prohibitions, which resulted in the cancelation or delay of many sporting events and activities. In addition to reducing the need for winter footwear, the laws enacted to prevent people from going outdoors unnecessarily reduced the demand for winter footwear.

Market Growth Factors

Growing urbanization resulting in grown number of footwear brands

Growing urbanization in developing nations is a major factor driving the demand for winter footwear, such as snow boots. Increasing urbanization has allowed designers and producers to connect with their target market more precisely and to understand their demands and the latest fashion trend. As a result, there was an increase in demand, particularly amongst college students and employed women, who are considered more fashion-focused and carry more sophisticated clothes. In addition, the increase in the number of women in the labor force will also raise the demand for different types of footwear.

Less expensive shoes being marketed by manufacturers to expand reach

Snowshoes, once considered a premium item in North America, Europe, and Japan, have gained immense popularity in recent years yet are still regarded as niche products. As a result, Snowshoe makers are moving into new markets like China, India, and Latin America to boost their consumer base and sales potential. Technology has enabled manufacturers to construct snow shoes out of lighter, more flexible materials and with features that enhance the snow removal process, such as shock absorption, waterproofing, and grip. Formerly, snow shoes were composed of heavy, expensive materials. These elements would support the growth of the regional market.

Market Restraining Factor

Concerned health problems related to misfit footwear

The most typical consequence of wearing uncomfortable shoes could be ankle pain. Frequently, people walk in a manner that is unnatural for their bones, resulting in highly sore ankles. The most apparent effect of improperly suited shoes is joint discomfort caused by persistent pressure on the joints. In addition, certain boots lack adequate cushioning, which forces the user's joints to absorb all shocks, which might result in foot pain. Thus, the negative impacts on the foot and physical health of the wearer can discourage individuals from wearing winter footwear such as boots, thereby impeding market expansion.
