Analysts’ Viewpoint
Podiatry equipment is primarily used in foot and ankle healthcare. The podiatry equipment accessories market in Europe is driven by the rise adoption of sedentary lifestyle and growth in obesity rate, which increases foot and ankle issues. Surge in geriatric population, which is more susceptible to foot and ankle problems such as arthritis and osteoporosis, is likely to fuel market expansion in the region.
Increase in awareness about foot & ankle problems and rise in need for specialized care are creating lucrative opportunities for market players. Companies are focusing on the development of new and innovative products, such as 3D printing technology, to increase their market share.
Podiatry equipment includes products related to foot care such as surgical curettes, chisels & osteotomes, cuticle & tissue nippers, and nail splitters. It is used to remove corns and callous, cut and trim nails, and shave corns.
Technological advances in 3D printing technology have made it possible for podiatry equipment to be produced more quickly and accurately. Demand for wearable devices that can monitor foot health and gait analysis has increased in the past few years. Smart insoles with pressure sensing technology are becoming more popular, and various portable, handheld devices are available for in-home foot care.
Manufacturers are focusing on ergonomic and anti-fatigue insoles for improved comfort and support. Furthermore, telemedicine services are becoming widely available for remote consultations and monitoring. This helps improve patient access to podiatry services.
Increase in geriatric population is driving the demand for podiatry equipment and services, which is fueling podiatry equipment accessories market growth. Older individuals are more susceptible to foot and ankle conditions, which may require medical intervention.
The geriatric population is more likely to develop conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and peripheral neuropathy, which could affect their feet and ankles. These conditions require specialized medical attention and equipment such as orthotics, braces, and other accessories.
Older individuals are more likely to have difficulty with mobility and balance, which could lead to foot and ankle injuries. Increase in demand for podiatry equipment accessories among this population is accelerating market development.
Rise in sports injuries is a significant factor driving the demand for podiatry machines. Growth in popularity of sports and physical activities has led to an increase in number of sports-related injuries, particularly those related to the feet and ankles.
Sports injuries are common among athletes and active individuals, and could range from minor sprains and strains to more serious conditions such as fracture and ligament tear. These injuries often require specialized medical attention and treatment, including podiatry equipment and supplies. These include products such as orthotics, braces, and other accessories used to support and protect injured feet and ankles. Orthotics, for example, are custom-made inserts designed to support and stabilize feet and ankles, and could be used to treat various sports-related injuries.
Advances in technology and materials have improved the design and functionality of podiatry surgical instruments and accessories, making them more comfortable and effective for the treatment of sports injuries.
In terms of accessories, the nail scissors & nippers segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021. Nail scissors and nippers are essential tools used in the treatment of various foot and nail conditions such as ingrown toenails, fungal nail infections, and thick or brittle nails. These accessories are commonly used to trim and shape the nails. They help reduce the risk of injury and promote good foot health.
Demand for nail scissors and nippers is high due to their versatility and effectiveness in the treatment of common foot and nail conditions. Low cost of these devices makes them an accessible option for both podiatrists and patients. Furthermore, advances in technology have led to the development of new and improved nail scissors and nippers, with features such as ergonomic handles, sharp blades, and durable construction.
Based on distribution channel, the retail segment accounted for significant share of the podiatry equipment accessories market in Europe in 2021. Availability of podiatry equipment and accessories through retail channels such as drugstores, supermarkets, and online retailers has increased in the past few years. This has made it easier for consumers to access these products, which in turn is increasing their popularity.
The retail segment offers a range of products, including over-the-counter orthotics and braces as well as other podiatry equipment accessories such as nail scissors and nippers. This, combined with the convenience of retail distribution, contributes to the growth of the retail segment. The trend of self-care and self-treatment is rising, as people are becoming more involved in managing their health and wellness. This is leading to an increase in demand for podiatry equipment and accessories that can be easily purchased and used at home.
Germany is projected to dominate the market in Europe during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to robust healthcare infrastructure and highly developed medical industry in the region. The country is home to a large number of specialized medical facilities, including clinics and hospitals, that focus on the treatment of foot and ankle conditions.
The U.K. is the fastest-growing market for podiatry equipment accessories. Rise of e-commerce in the country has led to an increase in availability of podiatry equipment and accessories through online channels, which provide consumers easy access to these products. Manufacturers are focusing on ergonomic design of podiatry equipment accessories, with an emphasis on products that are comfortable and easy to use for both patients and practitioners.
France is likely to gain market share in the next few years. Surge in geriatric population is driving the incidence of foot and ankle injuries in the country. This is boosting the demand for podiatry services and equipment in France.
The podiatry equipment accessories market in Europe is fragmented, with the presence of a large number of manufacturers. Expansion of product portfolio and merger & acquisition are the key strategies adopted by the leading players in the market.
