The foot creams and lotions market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.4 billion in 2024 to $3.69 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising awareness of foot health and hygiene among consumers, increasing prevalence of foot-related ailments and conditions, growing demand for personal care products focused on specific body parts, increasing disposable income leading to higher spending on skincare products and rising popularity of at-home foot care treatments.
The foot creams and lotions market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.07 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expanding product lines with natural and organic ingredients, increasing focus on anti-aging foot care products, growing adoption of foot creams and lotions in emerging markets, rising investments in marketing and promotional activities and advancements in product formulations and packaging innovations. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for vegan and cruelty-free foot care products, growing preference for multi-functional foot creams and lotions, rising popularity of foot care products with medicinal benefits, expansion of e-commerce platforms boosting online sales of foot care products, and development of personalized foot care solutions using ai and data analytics.
The foot creams and lotions market is set to grow due to the expanding influence of e-commerce platforms. E-commerce, which involves buying and selling goods and services over the internet through digital platforms, has become increasingly popular. This growth is fueled by advancements in technology, broader internet access, increased use of mobile devices, and the convenience of online shopping. E-commerce has boosted sales of foot creams and lotions by providing easy access to a wide range of products, improving consumer reach, and facilitating product comparisons and purchases. For example, in May 2024, the Census Bureau reported that US retail e-commerce sales hit $289.2 billion in the first quarter of 2024, a 2.1% increase from the fourth quarter of 2023. This growth in e-commerce is contributing to the expansion of the foot creams and lotions market.
Key players in the foot creams and lotions market are concentrating on developing advanced products with plant-based ingredients to gain a competitive edge. Plant-based ingredients are substances derived from plants, including fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, and herbs, used in various sectors such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. For instance, in June 2022, Advantice Health LLC, a US-based skincare manufacturer, introduced a new Athlete's Foot product line under the Kerasal brand. This product line features natural components such as tea tree oil, aloe, ceramides, and vitamin E, designed to treat athlete's foot while enhancing skin appearance and supporting overall foot health.
The growing global aging population is expected to drive the expansion of the foot creams and lotions market in the future. The term "aging population" refers to a demographic trend marked by an increase in the median age of a population, caused by declining fertility rates and longer life expectancies. This aging population impacts the foot creams and lotions market, primarily due to the specific foot care needs that arise with age. For example, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based official statistics provider, reported that in 2022, the UK had around 12.7 million individuals aged 65 and over, making up 19% of the total population. Projections indicate that by 2072, this number could rise to 22.1 million, representing 27% of the population. As a result, the increasing aging population worldwide is fueling the growth of the foot creams and lotions market.
