Plantar Fasciitis Sleeve Market Report 2025

The plantar fasciitis sleeve market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.77 billion in 2024 to $0.84 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth during the historic period was driven by the rising prevalence of plantar fasciitis, increasing awareness of foot health, higher participation in sports and fitness activities, an expanding aging population, growing demand for non-invasive pain management solutions, and wider availability of affordable orthopedic products.

The plantar fasciitis sleeve market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth during the forecast period is expected to be supported by greater adoption of minimally invasive foot care solutions, increasing prevalence of obesity and sedentary lifestyles, growing awareness of preventive orthopedic supports, wider availability through e-commerce platforms, rising participation in sports and fitness activities, and stronger recommendations of supportive devices by physiotherapists and podiatrists. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period include the integration of smart sensor technology, development of eco-friendly materials, customized 3D-printed designs, enhanced compression fabrics for targeted relief, and advancements in AI-driven product personalization.

The growth of the plantar fasciitis sleeve market is expected to be driven by the rising number of sports injuries in the future. Sports injuries are physical damages occurring during athletic activities or exercise, ranging from minor sprains and strains to serious fractures or dislocations. These injuries are becoming more common as repetitive stress or improper movements exceed the body’s natural ability to heal and protect tissues, leading to damage over time. Plantar fasciitis sleeves provide support to the foot arch, reduce strain, and relieve heel pain during activity or recovery in cases of sports injuries. For example, in November 2023, Howden Group Holdings Ltd, a UK-based insurance intermediary, reported that the severity of ankle injuries in the English Premier League increased by 170 percent between October 2022 and January 2023. Calf or shin injuries rose by 200 percent and hamstring injuries by 130 percent following the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. This demonstrates that the growing incidence of sports injuries is driving demand in the plantar fasciitis sleeve market.

The plantar fasciitis sleeve market is also expected to expand due to increasing obesity rates. Obesity rates indicate the proportion of a population classified as overweight or obese based on body mass index (BMI). These rates are climbing due to poor eating habits, such as excessive consumption of processed foods and sugary beverages, leading to excess fat storage. Plantar fasciitis sleeves benefit overweight individuals by providing additional foot support and cushioning, reducing stress on the plantar fascia and enhancing comfort during weight-bearing activities. This support is essential for managing joint stress in individuals with excess weight. For example, in September 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US government agency, reported that in 2022, 22 states had adult obesity rates of 35 percent or higher, compared to 19 states in 2021. Therefore, increasing obesity rates contribute to the growth of the plantar fasciitis sleeve market.

The plantar fasciitis sleeve market is anticipated to grow due to the rising prevalence of diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic illness where the body either produces insufficient insulin or cannot use it effectively, causing elevated blood sugar levels. The prevalence of diabetes is increasing as a result of sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy dietary habits. Plantar fasciitis sleeves assist individuals with diabetes by providing focused support and compression that improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and ease foot pain, which is critical in managing diabetic foot complications. For instance, in June 2023, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, a US-based public health research institute, reported that over half a billion people worldwide were living with diabetes. This figure is projected to more than double to 1.3 billion by 2050. Consequently, the growing prevalence of diabetes is fueling demand in the plantar fasciitis sleeve market.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
