The Global Vegan Footwear Market size is expected to reach $32.05 billion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 11.3% CAGR during the forecast period.
Vegan footwear is manufactured by utilizing the alternatives of animal leather and is made with environment-friendly materials. Factors like growing cases of animal cruelty, rising awareness regarding animal rights, growing concerns regarding plastic wastes, growing demand for sustainable products, and rising vegan population are some of the major factors responsible for driving the growth of the vegan footwear market.
In addition, there are many trends going on in the fashion industry, which are compelling brands and retailers to adapt as per these trends and reduce the usage of animal-based materials in their products. Several campaigns and initiatives are taken by companies as well as NGOs to promote the usage of plant-based and synthetic raw materials in the footwear industry.
With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for various non-essential products has declined, which would hinder their overall market growth. The imposition of various restrictions like lockdown, social distancing norms, ban on imports & exports, and closure of various retail outlets has negatively impacted the production and demand for vegan footwear across the world.
However, as things are getting back on track, vegan footwear companies would witness a substantial rise in sales. On the other hand, consumers have shifted towards online shopping options, which is creating opportunities for companies to reach out to their potential customers through online mediums.

In addition, it is becoming utmost importance to reduce carbon footprints in the environment to improve the environmental conditions since animal farming contributes to an imbalance in nature.
Along with that, UNEP also mentioned that better management of plastic can help companies to decrease their direct cost, which makes it easy for the companies to increase their revenue along with taking care of environmental concerns.
Social media plays an important role in creating awareness among customers regarding the prevalence of various vegan products. Additionally, companies are majorly investing in forming the social media strategies to reach out to their customers residing in different parts of the world. In addition, since social media platforms have a high influence on the population, companies are increasing their digital presence on such social media platforms to understand their customer's needs and update them regarding their product line.
The cost of vegan footwear is comparatively higher than the conventional footwear made from animal-based products. It is because the processing of vegan raw materials for the manufacturing of vegan footwear requires high investment and thus, the end-product has a high price attached to it. In addition, companies manufacturing vegan footwear majorly focus on the high quality of the products, which requires better raw materials that do not cause any harm to the human foot.
Based on end-user, the vegan footwear market is fragmented into men, women, and others. The others segment is anticipated to display the highest growth rate during the forecast period.

In addition, parents are investing a huge amount in choosing the best products for their children that do not cause any rashes and skin allergy and thus, they are opting for vegan products including vegan footwear.
Based on distribution channel, the vegan footwear market is divided into specialty stores, supermarkets/hypermarkets, convenience stores, and others. The high reach of the supermarkets/hypermarkets to the customers along with the increasing preference of customers towards them would motivate vegan footwear companies to select this distribution channel. In addition, there is a wide range of vegan footwear available in different brands, sizes, types, and prices within the hypermarkets/supermarkets, which enable customers to compare and try them before making a purchase.
Based on material type, the vegan footwear market is classified into polyurethane, recycled plastics, microfiber, and others. Microfiber is a kind of synthetic fiber that is made by mixing some synthetic materials, generally the polyester-nylon blend.
