全球童鞋市場規模預計將從2023年的413.6億美元增至2031年的787.5億美元,預計2024-2031年期間複合年增長率為8.4%。為了孩子的腳部健康,消費者更喜歡功能性和舒適的鞋類,動漫主題鞋類等設計和技術的創新、兒童運動和鍛煉的參與度增加以及時尚潮流等因素正在推動市場成長。
消費者越來越意識到兒童足部健康的重要性。因此,人們逐漸轉向支持兒童足部健康發育的鞋類。The United States National Library of Medicine 2022 年 7 月進行的一項研究顯示,農村地區 35% 的兒童患有扁平足,而城市地區這一比例為 51.2%。製造商開發出適合形狀的童鞋,以配合兒童腳部的自然形狀。例如,品牌開發具有適當足弓和鞋跟形狀的鞋子,以促進足部健康。
製造商獨特的行銷工具正在獲得關注並推動市場成長。品牌正在嘗試基於訂閱的模式來吸引回頭客的銷售。例如,2023 年 9 月,Atoms 以訂閱模式推出了首款童鞋系列。每雙售價 65 美元,但由於兒童尺寸經常變化,顧客可以選擇每三、四或六個月將鞋子送貨上門,享受 10% 的折扣。
消費者對兒童足部正常發育的認知推動發育
家長對兒童足部正常發育的認識不斷提高,推動了市場的成長。消費者正在為孩子尋找高品質、設計精良、舒適且具有支撐性的鞋子。消費者喜歡設計精良的兒童鞋,因為它能促進足部的健康生長和發育。
父母在為孩子購買鞋子時變得更加謹慎,優先考慮能夠在支撐性、舒適性和靈活性之間取得良好平衡的鞋子。孩子的腳是隨著成長而形成的。因此,穿著不合腳的鞋子會導致長期的扁平足、錯位、姿勢不良等問題。人們正在引導消費者轉向符合解剖學設計的鞋類,以滿足兒童在骨骼、肌肉和肌腱充分發育時的發展需求。
因此,製造商正在應對不斷變化的消費者偏好,開發滿足功能需求的童鞋。例如,2023年8月,童鞋品牌JBRDS完成了價值500萬美元的50萬美元種子輪融資,推出其最新開發的Stand2Walk鞋。本產品具有促進足部健康發育的注塑支撐籠、易於穿脫的尼龍搭扣帶、可即時提供舒適感的襪狀頂部,以及可增加抓地力以防止絆倒的絨面革外底,具有0脫落鞋底,可確保健康。
卡通主題鞋類推動市場成長
卡通風格的鞋類正在顯著推動市場成長。這些品牌採用流行的卡通人物和視覺上吸引人的設計,融合了鮮豔的色彩、獨特的圖案和標誌性圖像,以吸引孩子並激發他們穿著這些鞋子的慾望。此外,數位媒體的普及和網路的全球滲透正在影響年輕消費者的選擇和偏好,推動市場成長。
卡通主題的鞋子讓孩子透過時尚表達個性和創造力,發展個性。此類系列的廣泛流行增加了兒童鞋類市場的需求,並為製造商提供了在全球市場擴張的機會。隨著消費者偏好的不斷變化,卡通鞋類仍然是塑造市場趨勢、推動創新和市場成長的重要因素。
本報告研究和分析了全球童鞋市場,提供市場規模和預測、市場動態以及主要參與者的現狀和前景。
Global children's footwear market is projected to witness a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period 2024-2031, growing from USD 41.36 billion in 2023 to USD 78.75 billion in 2031. Factors such as consumers' preference for functional and comfortable footwear for better foot health of children, innovation in design and technology such as cartoon-themed footwear, increasing children's participation in sports and physical activities, and evolving fashion trends are fueling the growth of the global children's footwear market.
Consumers are increasingly becoming aware of the importance of their children's foot health. It is facilitating them to gradually shift towards footwear that caters to the healthy foot development of their kids. As per the study conducted by The United States National Library of Medicine in July 2022, it was found that 51.2% of urban children had flatfoot when compared with 35% of rural children. Manufacturers are developing children's footwear with proper shapes that align with the natural shape of the children's feet. For instance, brands develop footwear with the proper arch and heel shape, promoting healthy feet.
Unique marketing tools by manufacturers are gaining traction and driving market growth. Brands are trying subscription-based models to gain sales from repeat customers. For instance, in September 2023, Atoms launched its first kid's shoe line on a subscription-based model. Each pair is priced at USD 65, but since the sizes of the kids often change, the customers can opt into a service that delivers shoes every three, four, or six months to their home at a 10% discount on the amount.
Consumers' Awareness of Proper Foot Development in Children Fueling the Market Growth
Increasing awareness of parents for proper foot development of their children is driving the growth of the global children's footwear market as consumers demand high-quality, well-designed, comfortable, and supportive footwear for their children. Well-designed children's footwear appeals to consumers as it promotes healthy foot growth and development.
Parents are becoming increasingly conscious while purchasing footwear for their kids, prioritizing options that offer the right balance of support, comfort, and flexibility. It is due to children's feet forming as they grow. Thus, a poorly fitting shoe may lead to long-term problems such as flat feet, misalignment, and improper posture. It is inducing the consumers to shift towards anatomically created footwear that caters to the children's developmental needs while their bones, muscles, and tendons are fully developed.
Thus, manufacturers are responding to the shift in consumers' preferences and developing children's footwear that caters to their functional needs. For instance, in August 2023, a kids footwear brand, jbrds, closed a USD 500,000 seed round valued at USD 5 million to launch its latest development, Stand2Walk shoes. jbrds created these anatomically designed footwear for kids to support the young wearer's lateral column and development of cuboid bone while stabilizing children's heel. The product features an injection-molded support cage promoting the healthy development of feet, a Velcro strap for easy slip-on, a sock-like upper for instant comfort, a suede outsole for extra grip to avoid tripping, and a 0-drop outsole for the development of healthy tendons to limit future foot and ankle problems.
Cartoon Themed Footwear to Foster Market Growth
Cartoon-inspired footwear has been significantly driving the growth of the global children's footwear market. Brands use trending cartoon characters in visually appealing designs, incorporating vibrant colors, unique patterns, and iconic imagery, which appeals to kids and creates a desire in them to wear such footwear. Moreover, the increasing access to digital media and global penetration of the internet have impacted the choices and preferences of young consumers, driving the global children's footwear market growth.
Cartoon-themed footwear enables children to express their personalities and creativity through fashion, fostering a sense of individuality. The widespread popularity of these collections has led to increased demand in the children's footwear market, facilitating opportunities for manufacturers to expand in the global marketplace. As consumer preferences continue to evolve, cartoon-inspired footwear remains a pivotal factor in shaping the trend of the global footwear market, fueling innovation and driving market growth.
For instance, in July 2022, Ground Up International Inc. launched its first collection of character sneakers at the Kids Foot Locker. The company collaborated with Disney, Universal Pictures, and Marvel, creating nine casual sneaker styles featuring Mickey Mouse, Minions, Disney Princess, Spider-Man, and Avengers.
Footwear With Lower Carbon Footprint to Support the Market Growth
The rising popularity of children's footwear with a lower carbon footprint is due to consumers' growing awareness of environmental issues and a desire for more sustainable options. Parents are becoming increasingly conscious of the environmental impacts of their purchase decisions, including their purchases for their children. Moreover, children are becoming increasingly aware of the growing environmental concerns through school education and the rise in social media, influencing their preferences and making them more inclined towards sustainable footwear.
Children's footwear brands prioritize sustainability by utilizing environmentally friendly materials, reducing the carbon footprint and carbon emissions throughout the production process, and implementing ethical manufacturing practices that align strongly with the preferences of eco-conscious consumers.
For instance, in September 2021, Crocs, Inc. introduced bio-based Croslite, the company's patented footwear material. Using the material, the company manufactures kids' footwear with the aim of lowering its carbon footprint. As part of its sustainability efforts and vision, the company is aiming to reduce the carbon footprint in each pair of Crocs shoes by 50% by the end of 2030.
Shoes and Sneakers to Dominate the Market
Shoes and Sneakers are dominating the children's footwear market for several reasons. They are preferred over other footwear options because they help children develop their feet properly. Moreover, they offer comfort, functionality, and style, making them a preferred choice among kids and parents.
Moreover, the increasing athleisure culture has further augmented the popularity of shoes and sneakers, as they are used by kids who are engaged in an active lifestyle and participate in sports and physical activities.
Furthermore, boys are majorly demanding of shoes and sneakers as they commonly have active lifestyles and often require durable and versatile athletic wear.
In April 2024, Hoka, a division of Deckers Brands, debuted its first-ever collection of children's footwear. Designed keeping the young athletes in mind, the Youth collection was made with kid-centric features. The collection features three Hoka icons, the Speedgoat 5 Youth, Clifton 9 Youth, and Ora Slide 3 Youth. It has been developed to empower children to effortlessly participate in athletic activities.
Asia-Pacific to Exhibit Exponential Growth
Asia-Pacific has demonstrated substantial growth in the historical and forecast periods due to several factors. These factors include rapid urbanization and industrialization taking place in Asian countries such as China, India, and Indonesia. It has contributed to introducing various types of children's footwear in the region, ranging from formal, athletic, and casual footwear which can be worn in different occasions. Demand of sustainable footwear is also increasing at a moderate pace in India market. For instance, in 2023, SANOSYZO PVT.LTD. (known as Aretto) was recognized by PETA India for its sustainable and vegan footwear range.
The high population of children in Asia-Pacific contributes to the expanding demand for children's footwear in the region. For instance, in 2023, as per the data provided by Unicef, in India, the population of children under 18 years was approx. 431 million, which is creating a surging demand for footwear in the region.
Moreover, other factors, such as globalization, expose parents to foreign brands and innovative products that appeal to them and drive the demand for products in global marketplaces. For instance, various global luxury brands, such as Steven Madden, Ltd. and Ralph Lauren Corporation, have established a global presence but also have a large client base from Asia-Pacific.

The children's footwear market is anticipated to witness growth in the forecast period due to continuous innovation by the players. The key players are introducing products with unconventional features that appeal to the consumers and increase the product's functionality.

The company saw massive growth in 2022 following the launch of its first hands-free shoe for kids. These footwears cater to disabled children as they increase functionality and convenience. Thus, technologically advanced and innovative footwear is expected to surge the market's growth.
