The compression stockings market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the compression stockings market has seen significant growth in previous years. It is projected to climb from $1.75 billion in 2024 to $1.87 billion in 2025, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%.
This growth in the historical period can be linked to the widespread presence of chronic diseases, advancements in material and design, regulatory support, and medical progressions.
The compression stockings market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, the compression stockings market is projected to witness robust growth, eventually expanding to $2.4 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 6.4%.
The anticipated increase during the forecast period can be linked to factors such as an increase in healthcare spending, the growth of e-commerce, customization and personalization, and an emphasis on preventive healthcare. Prevailing trends for the forecast period comprise an escalating demand for stylish compression stockings, a transition to sustainable materials, integration with digital health, telemedicine, and remote consultations.
The surge in deep vein thrombosis is fuelling the expansion of the compression stockings market. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a medical condition characterized by the formation of blood clots in one or more deep veins, typically in the legs. Factors such as a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and aging contribute to its rising prevalence. Compression stockings play a crucial role in the management of DVT by enhancing blood circulation, diminishing pain and leg swelling, and reducing the likelihood of blood clot development. For example, data from Nuffield Trust Limited, a UK-based autonomous health-focused think tank, revealed that the UK had the greatest occurrence of DVT in August 2023, with 352 cases per 100,000 hospital discharges in 2021, and an increase to 377 per 100,000 hospital discharges in 2022. Hence, the escalating prevalence of deep vein thrombosis is anticipated to steer the growth of the compression stockings market.
