Diabetic shoes are typically designed with minimal seams or with seams placed in such a way as to minimize friction and irritation against the skin. This is crucial for preventing the formation of blisters and sores, which can be exacerbated in individuals with reduced sensation. Diabetic footwear often features wider toe boxes to accommodate any deformities or swelling that may occur in individuals with diabetes. This helps to prevent the toes from rubbing against the shoe, reducing the risk of friction-related injuries.
Diabetic footwear often utilizes materials that promote breathability and moisture control, preventing the accumulation of moisture that could lead to fungal infections. This holds particular significance for individuals diagnosed with diabetes, given their heightened vulnerability to complications pertaining to the epidermis. Specialized designs aim to minimize shear and friction, reducing the risk of blisters and calluses. This preventive approach aligns with the overarching goal of diabetic footwear to protect the foot from potential harm. The market is dynamic, witnessing several trends that shape product development and consumer preferences.
As per the data from the Government of Australia, the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) and Australasian Paediatric Endocrine Group (APEG) state-based registers recorded that in 2021, approximately 1 in 20 Australians (approximately 1.3 million) were living with diabetes (prevalence). With nearly one in every five Australians aged 80–84 having diabetes in 2021, the incidence rate was nearly thirty times that of those aged below 40 (0.7%). Upon accounting for age, the prevalence of diabetes in males was 1.3 times that of females. Thus, the increasing prevalence of diabetes in the Asia Pacific region will positively impact the regional market.
