COMPRESSION GARMENTS AND STOCKINGS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global compression garments and stockings market size was estimated at USD 3.27 billion in 2024 and expected to rise to USD 5.53 billion by 2033, experiencing a CAGR of 5.98% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

Compression garments and stockings are pieces of clothing that fit tightly around the skin and apply pressure to the limbs or other parts of the body. They are used to improve blood flow, reduce swelling, support veins, and prevent or treat various medical conditions related to blood circulation.

There are different types of compression garments and stockings, such as socks, pantyhose, sleeves, gloves, bodysuits, etc. They also come in varying degrees of compression, ranging from mild to strong. The higher degrees of compression usually require a doctor’s prescription.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Increased the Market Demand due to the Increase in the Demand for Compression Products

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the compression garments and stockings market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the compression garments and stockings market share. The pandemic has increased the demand for compression products among patients who suffer from venous thromboembolism (VTE), a serious complication of Covid-19 that causes blood clots in the veins. Compression therapy is recommended as a preventive measure for VTE, as it improves blood circulation and prevents clot formation. Moreover, the pandemic has also boosted the demand for sports compression products among people who engage in physical activities to maintain their health and fitness during lockdowns and social distancing measures. Sports compression products help improve performance, recovery, and injury prevention among athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

LATEST TRENDS

Adoption of Green and Energy-Efficient Technologies is expected to Fuel the Growth in the Market

One of the recent trends in the market is the emergence of smart compression products that incorporate sensors, wireless connectivity, and mobile applications to monitor and adjust the pressure level according to the patient’s needs. These products aim to improve the effectiveness, comfort, and compliance of compression therapy by providing real-time feedback, personalized settings, reminders, alerts, and data analysis. Some examples of smart compression products. Siren socks are smart socks that measure the temperature of the feet and alert the wearer or their caregiver if there is a sign of inflammation or infection, which can indicate a potential ulcer or wound. They are designed for patients with diabetic neuropathy, who often lose sensation in their feet and are prone to foot ulcers. Bio compression systems are pneumatic compression devices that inflate and deflate air chambers around the limbs to provide sequential compression therapy. They are used for patients with lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, or post-surgical edema. They can be controlled by a mobile app that allows the user to adjust the pressure level, duration, frequency, and mode of therapy.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Venous Diseases to Foster the Market Growth

Chronic venous diseases (CVD) are disorders that affect the veins in the legs, causing symptoms such as pain, swelling, heaviness, itching, cramps, varicose veins, skin changes, and ulcers. CVD are very common among adults, affecting a lot of women and men worldwide. CVD can impair the quality of life and increase the risk of complications such as VTE, infection, bleeding, and amputation. Compression therapy is one of the main treatments for CVD, as it reduces venous pressure, improves venous return, and prevents edema formation. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of CVD drives the demand for compression garments and stockings among patients who need to manage their condition and prevent its progression.

Rising Demand for Sports Compression Products to Result in the Expansion of the Market

Sports compression products are garments or accessories that apply pressure to specific body parts to enhance athletic performance, recovery, and injury prevention. They are worn by athletes and fitness enthusiasts during or after physical activities such as running, cycling, swimming, skiing, basketball, soccer, etc. Sports compression products are claimed to have various benefits such as improving blood flow, oxygen delivery, muscle support, stability, posture, thermoregulation, and comfort. They are also said to reduce muscle fatigue, soreness, inflammation, and damage. The rising demand for sports compression products is driven by the growing popularity of sports and fitness activities among people of all ages and backgrounds, the increasing awareness of the benefits of compression therapy among athletes and consumers, and the availability of various types of sports compression products in different sizes, colors, designs, and materials.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Lack of Standardization and Regulation to Hamper the Market Growth

The market is characterized by a lack of standardization and regulation in terms of the quality, safety, efficacy, and labelling of compression products. There is no universal agreement on the definition, classification, measurement, testing, and prescription of compression products among different countries, regions, manufacturers, healthcare providers, and users. This leads to confusion, inconsistency, variability, and uncertainty in the compression therapy practice and outcomes.
