Market Dynamics
Compression stockings can be utilized for various vascular diseases as a preventive and therapeutic measure, and compression stocking is expected to illustrate lucrative growth during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030. These compression stockings are widely used as a preventive measure for varicose veins, spider veins, and especially for venous leg illness. Medical compression stockings are designed to assist in phlebitis, thrombosis, and chronic venous diseases. They are also highly used after vein surgery (varicose vein surgery) if needed for enhanced results in accordance with the required strength for the compression as a temporary compression therapy. Thus, factors play a significant role in the growth of the global compression stocking market. Additionally, there is a growing prevalence of venous leg ulcers among the population, especially due to the continuously growing population of aged people. Moreover, compression therapy using compression stockings aids in the treatment of VLU by resulting in ulcer healing, pain reduction, and recurrence prevention. It also aids in narrowing the veins, valve competence restoration, ambulatory venous pressure reduction, and venous reflux reduction (VR). Also, it helps to reduce inflammatory cytokines and capillary fluid leaks, hence relieving leg edema.
Furthermore, market leaders increasingly focus on aggressive promotional initiatives to promote compression stockings to runners, triathletes, and other endurance athletes. These stockings improve blood circulation during physical exertion, increase athletic performance, and allow for faster recuperation. This and the growing sports industry are increasing total sales and profitability. Moreover, rising healthcare infrastructure investments, technological advancements, and evolving healthcare systems in the developing economies in terms of trade, thus bolstering the growth of the global compression stocking market. However, restraining factors such as broken skin, pain, skin irritation, discomfort, and severe skin damage due to long-term usage are expected to hamper the global market development.
Market Ecosystem
The global compression stocking market has been analyzed from four perspectives: Product Type, Patient Group, Distribution Channel, and Region
Compression Stocking Market by Product Type
[5265555]
Based on the product type, the global compression stocking market can be bifurcated into knee-high and thigh-high stockings.
Thigh-high stockings segment accounts for the largest revenue share of the global market. The thigh-high compression stocking covers entire feet instead of only knees and calves, providing enhanced compression therapy. Additionally, this medical compression stocking is available in various styles such as sheer, ribbed, silicon, opaque, and other types of bands. Most thigh-high compression stockings are constructed of a cotton/nylon combination. These factors are responsible for the growth of the thigh-high compression stocking market.
The knee-high compression stockings segment is expected to depict slow and steady growth during the forecast period due to comparatively low demand and popularity of these stockings among the targeted population.
Compression Stocking Market by Patient Group
Based on the patient groups, the global compression stocking market is segmented into women and men.
The demand for compression stockings is significantly high among female patients. The uptake for aesthetic and functional purposes such as reducing the size of legs and reducing swelling is another common purpose for which compression stockings are in high demand in female consumers. Moreover, the growing interest of the manufacturers in designing attractive patterns, features, and colors according to the targeted female audience due to its high popularity further propels the women segment, thereby enhancing the global market development.
Compression Stocking Market by Distribution Channel
Based on the distribution channel, the global compression stocking market has been segmented into online and offline sales.
The offline segment registered for the largest revenue share in 2021 and is expected to retain its dominance during the projected timeframe. The growth of this segment can be attributed to high sales of compression stockings via offline mode. Growing sales in offline channels such as supermarkets, stores, specialty stores, and others also greatly influence the global market. The large availability of these compression stockings with ease & convenience purchase by customers due to the benefits of various offers such as discounts, seasonal offers, and other advantages further drives the market expansion.
The online distribution channel segment is projected to obtain profitable global compression stocking market prospects. Due to low infrastructural expenses, major players and even small industries are leaning towards online commercialization. The online segment is an easy and convenient platform for customers. The increasing importance of social media marketing strategies and advertisements attracts consumers. This benefits the market for numerous products, including compression socks, and online sales are expected to become a substantial market segment in the near future.

North America dominates the global market with the largest revenue shares. The market growth in this region can be attributed to various factors but majorly due to the large prevalence of chronic diseases such as venous leg ulcers, varicose veins, and spider veins. Increased incidences of such diseases can be majorly responsible due to this region's growing, rising geriatric population. Along with this rapid growth in obesity issues among youngsters due to unhealthy and sedentary lifestyles, they contribute to North America's market development. Additionally, high incidences of sports injuries due to factors such as increased involvement of people in extreme sports in this region, hence impacting the market growth. In addition, the availability of advanced infrastructure & healthcare systems, high awareness of compression stockings among the people with the presence of major market players in this region further encourage the overall growth of North America's global compression stocking market.
Europe accounts for the second largest revenue share in the global market. Additionally, Asia Pacific is one of the fastest emerging economies attributed to various factors such as the growing prevalence of chronic venous disease, rising aged population, evolving healthcare infrastructure, and enhancing healthcare expenditures.
