VOLLEYBALL SHOES MARKET OVERVIEW

The volleyball shoes market, valued at USD 2.41 billion in 2025, is forecasted to increase to USD 2.48 billion in 2026 and surpass USD 3.13 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 2.6% from 2025 to 2035.

Sports footwear specifically made for volleyball is known as volleyball shoes. They are made to offer the support, stability, and grip required for the swift lateral movements, hops, and abrupt changes in direction that volleyball players frequently engage in. For comfort and shock absorption, these shoes frequently have a lightweight, breathable upper and a sole pattern that provides good traction on indoor court surfaces.

On indoor court surfaces, which are often constructed of wood or a synthetic material, the sole of these shoes is engineered to provide exceptional traction. The sole pattern frequently combines herringbone, hexagonal, or circular patterns to facilitate fast changes in direction and multidirectional movement without placing undue strain on the feet. Shoes for volleyball are frequently lightweight to promote agility and quick movements on the court. They also have breathable top components, including mesh, to keep the feet dry and comfortable during strenuous play.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Downfall of the Market due to the Loss of Consumers

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with volleyball shoes 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 outbreak resulted in issues like unsteady markets, a decline in consumer confidence, and challenges with transportation. The global supply chain includes raw materials, packaging, and distribution. Moving commodities, chemical, and other things has become challenging as a result of lockdowns. Consumer markets were affected financially owing to an immediate impact on markets, supply chains, supply and demand, and all of these other things. Producers are focusing on protecting their workforce, company processes, and supply networks in order to address this pressing issue. Due to the pandemic's impact on the industry's dynamics, businesses were forced to completely restructure how they operated in order to maintain stability post-pandemic. In addition, the outbreak has a negative impact on corporate operations, which affects the entire consumer industry. The market for volleyball shoes has been somewhat impacted by this.

LATEST TRENDS

Sustainability to Boost the Market Growth 

Sustainability has been gaining importance across various industries, including the sports and footwear sector. Sustainability in the volleyball shoe industry refers to the use of environmentally friendly practices, materials, and manufacturing techniques to reduce the negative effects of creating and using footwear on the environment. Volleyball shoes are made by brands using recycled and sustainable materials. This contains components like natural rubber, organic cotton, and recycled plastics. These products aid in lowering the use of non-renewable resources. Solvent-based adhesives are used in traditional shoe manufacturing, and these adhesives have the potential to leak hazardous substances into the environment. Many environmentally friendly volleyball shoes employ water-based adhesives that are less hazardous and have less of an influence on the environment. Thus, it is anticipated that the sustainability will increase overall market sales. These new developments and varieties in product are mostly to blame for the market's overall growth.

• According to the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI), 37% of volleyball athletes in 2023 preferred lightweight shoes designed for better mobility and flexibility, as these models help enhance performance on both indoor and beach volleyball courts.

• According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), 42% of volleyball shoes sold in 2023 incorporated advanced cushioning technologies such as EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam or gel-based inserts to improve comfort and reduce impact injuries during high-intensity movements.
