The global shoe deodorizer market size is estimated to reach USD 181.9 million by 2029 from USD 134.66 million in 2024, registering a CAGR of 6.2% from 2024 to 2029.
Shoe deodorizer is a substance applied inside shoes to prevent unpleasant foot odor caused by bacterial breakdown of sweat cells. Several diseases, such as diabetes and hyperthyroidism, cause excessive sweating in the feet and other parts of the body. The bacterial breakdown of sweat cells produces a bad odor, which can be overcome with the use of a shoe deodorant. Unlike body deodorant, shoe deodorizer plays a vital role in controlling foot sweat and providing a pleasant, fresh scent all day long.
The growth of health issues such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and olfactory referral syndrome in the majority of people globally is expected to drive the market over the forecast period.
Factors such as improved standard of living, the accelerated pace of R&D, increased awareness of fashionable consumers, augmented consumer spending in developed and developing countries, and awareness of customers of the convenience and benefits of shoe deodorizers are propelling the growth of the global market. Different types of deodorants available in the market include sprays, stencils, and powders, which are mainly distributed in local stores, retail stores, drugstores, shoe stores, supermarkets, and grocery stores. Improving living standards, increasing consumer spending in developed and emerging countries, and increasing consumer awareness of the availability and benefits of shoe deodorants will exponentially boost the worldwide market. Market players are focused on the development of natural deodorants due to changing trends and changing consumer preferences toward organic products versus synthetic products. In addition, they adopt strategies such as strategic product placement in pharmacies and mass retail stores to have a favorable impact on consumers.
Increasing population and urbanization have led to increased demand for fashion footwear which is an important factor in boosting the global shoe deodorizer market. In addition, increased awareness of fitness has led to an increase in physical activities and cardiovascular exercise. This has led to increased demand for athletic footwear which in turn is fueling the rapid growth of the global market. Moreover, the increase in the number of sporting events and the interest of young aspiring athletes in athletics is another notable factor in driving the growth of this market. Growing health issues such as obesity and diabetes among most people in the world are likely to drive this market over the forecast period.
Consumers' awareness of the shame of smelly shoes has made deodorant an essential personal care product. This is an important factor in opening up new market opportunities for shoe deodorizers. Manufacturers of shoe deodorants are focusing more on developing and launching innovative new products using advanced solutions to meet changing needs and consumer demand for new products. Suppliers also strive to differentiate their products from those offered by pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, they prefer to innovate ingredients and technologies that are beneficial to consumers' feet, such as powders and sprays which cure bacterial or fungal infections and also eliminate unpleasant odors.
The shoe deodorizer market is plagued by a high proportion of counterfeit products. The increase in sales of counterfeit products has greatly affected the growth of the global market, and customers cannot tell them apart from the originals. The counterfeit and replicated products are available at lower prices than real shoe deodorizers and negatively impact the sales and pricing strategy of major suppliers. Besides, the lack of awareness of the use of footwear deodorizers and lower availability in developing countries are important factors that are estimated to hamper the growth of the global footwear deodorant market.
Since the Coronavirus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to nearly 120 countries around the world, and the WHO has declared it a public health emergency. The global impacts of the COVID-19 disease are significantly influencing the shoe deodorizer market with strict lockdown conditions and the shutdown of manufacturing units.
