The Compression Stockings Market refers to the specialized medical and therapeutic hosiery industry designed to apply controlled pressure to the legs, promoting improved blood circulation and reducing swelling, discomfort, and fatigue. Compression stockings are widely used for the treatment and prevention of venous disorders such as varicose veins, edema, venous leg ulcers, lymphedema, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). They are increasingly prescribed in post-surgical recovery and preventive healthcare scenarios.
Advancements in fabric technology, comfort design improvements, and increased availability of custom-fit products have significantly expanded product adoption across medical as well as non-medical applications. Growing participation in sports and fitness activities has also accelerated demand for performance compression wear, supporting muscle recovery and reducing injury risks.
With a rapidly aging global population, rising incidence of chronic venous diseases, and increasing awareness of compression therapy benefits, the global Compression Stockings Market is expected to experience substantial growth between 2025 and 2035.
• Rising Prevalence of Venous Disorders & DVT
Increasing cases of varicose veins, blood clotting disorders, venous insufficiency, and lymphedema are major drivers supporting market growth. Sedentary lifestyles, obesity, and prolonged working hours have further contributed to chronic circulation issues, increasing adoption of compression stockings in hospitals and home-care settings.
