Geographically, Asia-Pacific dominates the global athletic footwear market with nearly 40% share. The key

reason for the dominance of Asia-Pacific is cheap labor, heavy concentration of leading footwear manufacturers,

and availability of cheap raw material. The growing interest in athletic sports, improved awareness of healthy

lifestyles, escalating demand for innovative footwear, and increase in seasonal sales (due to sports events), are

some of the factors contributing to the growth of the athletic footwear market in U.S. The market in North America

is anticipated to grow at a slow pace, owing to reasons such as high material, labor cost and strong competition.

The escalating raw material cost is a major factor hindering the growth of the global athletic footwear market. The

average price of a shoe’s upper leather rose to 8.6% in 2014, which affected the athletic footwear market in that

year.
