Overview


According to FutureWise analysis the market for ankle and foot braces is expected to register a CAGR of 9.00% from 2023-2031.

Ankle and foot braces are orthopedic devices designed to relieve pain and provide support, stability, and protection to the ankle and foot. They are often used to treat and prevent injuries, such as sprains, fractures, tendonitis, and other medical conditions affecting the lower extremities. Ankle braces and support are commonly used by athletes to prevent or treat ankle injuries. It's important to note that the choice of brace depends on the specific condition or injury and the individual's needs and activity level. Proper fitting and usage are crucial for the efficacy of these braces. It is always advised to consult with a orthotist for proper assessment and recommendations on selecting and using the right type of brace.

Various types of ankle braces are available, including those made with elastic materials that slip onto the foot and those made with solid material and straps that encase the foot. A brace can help to relieve strain, tension, and pressure on the ankle joint. One of the major functions of an ankle brace is to immobilize the joint, which helps in the reduction of swelling post-injury. Individuals engaged in repetitive activities that stress the ankle and foot, such as running or daily activities, may use braces to reduce the risk of overuse injuries. Many braces can be adjusted or customized to fit individual needs properly.

Recent Developments in Ankle and Foot Braces Market:

  • In April 2023- DJO Global Inc., known as EnvoisTM, expanded its ankle and foot portfolio with a knotless syndesmotic repair system by launching EnofixTM with Costrictor® technology. This technology is useful in stabilizing syndesmosis, thus effectively contributing to orthopedic braces and supports.
  • In March 2022- Breg has partnered with a new distributor, Osmose, to expand the distribution network and product portfolio of bracing, especially foot and ankle products.

Growing participation in sports and physical activities leading to a higher risk of ankle injuries is expected to drive the growth of the ankle and foot braces market during the forecast period. As more people embrace active lifestyles, the higher risk of sprains, strains, and other ankle-related issues is expected to drive a prominent need for effective preventative and rehabilitative measures. This growing demand not only emphasizes the essential role of ankle braces in minimizing injury risks and aiding recovery but also presents a compelling growth trajectory for the ankle and foot braces market. Manufacturers and healthcare providers are likely to witness a growing market landscape as they cater to the rising requirement for advanced ankle support solutions, capitalizing on the evolving preferences of health-conscious consumers seeking reliable means to ensure the longevity and well-being of their active pursuits. Moreover, developing customized and personalized ankle braces is expected to offer an excellent opportunity for market growth. By adopting the concept of customization, the market stands to tap into a distinctive prospect to cater to diverse patient needs and preferences, fostering enhanced user comfort, optimal support, and tailored rehabilitation. This approach aligns with the evolving expectations of consumers seeking personalized healthcare solutions. It empowers manufacturers and healthcare providers to establish a competitive edge through innovative design, advanced materials, and a heightened focus on addressing specific ankle-related challenges. Additionally, continuous advancements in materials and design technologies have significantly boosted the quality of ankle and foot braces, making them more comfortable, lightweight, and effective. These advancements have upgraded the patient experience, offering less invasive solutions and more seamlessly integrated into daily activities, further driving the market growth. However, the high cost of ankle and foot braces may hinder the market growth over the forecast period. High-quality braces offer excellent support and durability but often come with a relatively high price tag. This financial barrier may impede accessibility, particularly in individuals with lower income levels who may find it difficult to spend a substantial portion of their budget on these specialized orthopedic devices. Moreover, in regions with limited healthcare resources or inadequate insurance coverage, acquiring such braces might be prohibitive, potentially leading to suboptimal treatment results for those who need them the most.
