Orthopedic Insole Market to Grow at 10.4% CAGR through 2031

The orthopedic insole market is expected to reach at US$ 4.9 Bn by 2021 and to grow at 10.4% CAGR through 2021 – 2031

The rising prevalence of various conditions affecting foot and overall health has been driving orthopedic insoles sales. Doctors have realized that a lot of physical problems can be rectified by modifying shoes. Back pain, bad posture, and flat feet, among other things, can all be fixed through the feet. The National Institutes of Health lists several foot issues for which custom-made orthopedic shoes are prescribed.

Custom foot orthotics are specially made to fit the wearer’s prescription specifications, considering the specific medical condition, the assessment of limb length and the measurements of legs and feet.

This makes them more effective and efficient compared to mass-produced prefabricated foot orthotics which can be easily purchased from malls or drugstores. Custom orthotics encourage natural, preferred motion so that there is no strain on the feet. In instances where customers require unique footwear for medical reasons, not all style requirements can be met. However, a skilled shoe craftsman can work with customers to design a fashionable as well as functional style.

Sustainability Concerns Impacting Orthopedic Insoles Sales

Sustainability is the new hot topic in the footwear industry, after decades of fast fashion and superfluous production chains. Along with customization, eco-friendly materials and ethical production are the other emerging trends.

With brands constantly launching new products, collections & designs, sustainability is one among many deciding factors for brand value. Sustainable orthopedic insoles have been promoted by the release of several eco-friendly designs produced from recycled post-production foam.

For instance, with its first insole back in 1997, OrthoLite introduced eco-friendly products engineered with game-changing technology that repurposed rubber waste. At Superfeet, sustainability has been incorporated into its latest product offering, the Me3D series. Me3D offers fully customized insoles produced from a 3-D scan that is then 3-D-printed to exact measurement (minimizing waste) as part of a collaboration with HP Fitstation.

Orthopedic insoles purchase pattern is dependent on the material, sustainability quotient and purpose. Functional orthopedic insoles are very effective in alleviating symptoms and establishing proper alignment. According to the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine, soft materials such as Neoprene, various open- and closed-cell foams or similar cushioning materials may be used in conjunction with functional foot orthoses to provide both support and comfort.

Developing products with innovative and new designs and styles is one of the most common trends observed in the industry. This change in consumer buying preference has encouraged the players in the market to stimulate innovation and expand the portfolio, tapping the unexposed segments of the industry and as a result escalating the demand over the forecast period.

In terms of insole type, prefabricated orthopedic insoles dominate the market. Prefabricated insoles are preferred for use by patients with diabetes and neuropathy. The forecast trend, however, reflects a promising growth scenario for custom orthopedic insoles.

Key Takeaways from the Orthopedic Insoles Market Study

· In terms of value, orthopedic insoles sales will significantly rise, exhibiting 10.4% CAGR between 2021 and 2031

· Higher prevalence of obesity in the U.S. will enable it account for nearly 85% of sales in North America

· Demand in U.K. is expected to rise considerably, facilitating y-o-y growth at a little above 6% in 2021

· Both Germany and France are expected to offer highly lucrative opportunities for growth

· Increasing focus on health and wellness will drive orthopedic insoles sales in Japan and South Korea

Impact of COVID-19 & 2020 Market Analysis

During the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and because of the lockdown, orthopedic companies were unable to operate across the world which in turn impacted Orthopedic insoles demand severely. Moreover, there have been travel restrictions which possibly inflicted an adverse impact on the companies’ results of operations. However, since the resume of market, orthopedic insoles manufacturers started offering their customers various offers on prefabricated Orthopedic insoles to compensate for the already occurred losses. Above all, various strict guidelines have been imposed by the government to be followed by the Orthopedic insoles companies as a mandate in this pandemic situation.

Who is winning?

A few key players operating in the orthopedic insoles market are Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC, Otto Bock SE & Co. KGaA, Bauerfeind aG, Mile High Orthotics Lab, Inc., Stable Step, LLC, Cascade Dafo, Inc., Birkenstock Digital GmbH, Steeper, Inc., A.Algeo Limited, Peacocks Medical Group, Aetrex Worldwide, Inc., Superfeet Worldwide, Inc., Digitsole, and Allied OSI Labs, among others.

§ The players are aggressively investing in product development with an aim to gain a competitive advantage. Besides this there is considerable focus on recent technologies. For instance, Covestro shared in 2019 that it has been focusing on the development of 3D printed insoles made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Such developments are expected to bode well for the market.

University of Madras and University of Melbourne deepen partnership to complement blended BSc program

University of Madras and University of Melbourne deepen partnership to complement blended BSc program

Chennai, 13th September 2022: Recognizing the value of global academic collaboration, University of Melbourne, a leading Australian research university, has announced an MoU with University of Madras to further explore teaching and research opportunities.

Earlier this year, the universities announced a blended Bachelor of Science degree and have been working together to explore new and innovative ways of extending the partnership into additional disciplines and flexible program models.

The MoU enables the two universities to continue the program collaboration while also investigating how students, faculties and researchers can benefit through possible joint PhD opportunities, knowledge sharing for early to mid-level researchers, mobility options, workshops as well as study visits and staff exchanges.  Together, both institutions aim to initiate strong and sustainable Transnational Education (TNE) and Transnational Research (TNR) programs.

The existing BSc Blended program is currently offered in equivalence across the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.  The University of Madras has already received a huge response to the program, with close to 300 registrations from the state of Tamil Nadu and across India.

The program will be offered to the 30 best students based on their application including their entrance score. The successful students will commence the course from 20th September 2022. The Roaster system, as offered by Tamil Nadu government, will be duly followed.

The extended partnership announced today will cover additional academic and research opportunities, as well as cultural exchange of students and faculty across all 86 departments at University of Madras. 

Speaking at the occasion, Prof. Dr. S. Gowri, VC, University of Madras said, “We recognize the importance of international academic collaboration, and we see our partnership with the globally recognized University of Melbourne as a great opportunity for our students and faculty. This will give our students exposure to a diverse set of research subjects, with additional tools, experiences and faculty support. We look forward to working together in setting new benchmarks in higher education and enhancing research capabilities for Indian students.” 

Professor Michael Wesley, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International) at the University of Melbourne, said the partnership with the University of Madras was a significant one.

“Our joint expertise enables students and faculty from both institutions to collaborate, learn from each other, and initiate research that has global relevance and critical impact,’’ Professor Wesley said

“We continue to work together on our high-quality BSc Blended program to explore how this could work in the humanities and social sciences, and to investigate additional flexible delivery models to suit students’ needs.”

The MoU paves the way for joint teaching programs (blended and dual degree programs at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in science, humanities, arts and social sciences) that may be introduced in the near future. The MoU was signed at the University of Madras campus by Professor Wesley and Professor Gowri.

The outcome will leverage the two institutions’ academic strengths and provide research scholars with mentorship from global experts, enable strong cultural and research connections, and provide access to the best facilities and resources.

Interestingly, the promo run consisted of two concurrent events in the form of a 5 km and a 10 km run allowing the participants a choice to either stop at five kilometers or continue to run for another five kilometers after having completed the first five-kilometer distance. With more than 150 participants enthusiastically taking part in the Run, the event was a huge success. Attended by eminent doctors, healthcare professionals, cancer care specialists, and individuals from a cross-section of society, the event marks a critical milestone in Ikris’s campaign for promoting breast cancer awareness in the country.

Earlier last month, Ikris Pharma launched the IKRIS Run with the release of a video. And now in the next phase of the campaign, there will be a final run on 2nd October, the birth anniversary of none other than Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation.IKRIS Promo Run in Noida another big boost for the cause of breast cancer awareness in India

“We are glad to see such enthusiastic participation of people from all age groups and walks of life. It means that breast cancer as a challenge is increasingly getting amplified among lay people. In fact, today’s participants in the promo run are brand ambassadors for promoting and making people aware of the enormity of the threat that breast cancer poses to us as a society. In this time and age of social media, I am certain that many of these participants would further spread the good word about the campaign. So I would like to thank everyone who ran and also those who couldn’t run but attended the post-run discussion on breast cancer. At the same time, I would also like to thank Dr. Meena Walia for sharing her valuable insights on such a critical disease,” said Mr. Praveen Sikri, CEO, of IKRIS Pharma Network.IKRIS Promo Run in Noida another big boost for the cause of breast cancer awareness in India

“Continuing with the event in August, I am once again very happy and honored to be a part of a campaign that means so much for the cause of spreading awareness about breast cancer as a disease. And we had a very fruitful discussion on the subject wherein we talked about a wide range of issues pertaining to the condition. I would particularly request women to be cautious, and even the slightest of symptoms such as the feeling of a lump or swelling in breasts or armpits, having redness of skin on breast or nipple, abnormal fluid discharge, unexpected pain, etc must become a trigger for immediate consultation with a specialist. Those with a family history have to be even more careful. Also, it is important that we should maintain a healthy lifestyle which would ward off the possibility of any such disorders in our bodies,” said Dr (Prof) Meenu Walia, Director & HOD- Dept of Medical Oncology and Hematology, Max Hospital, who is also the first DNB Medical Oncologist of India.

PHDCCI Indian Navy Conference

PHDCCI, in association with the Indian Navy, Department of Defence Production, Government of India, and the Ministry of MSME, Government of India organized an Industry Interactive Session & B2B Meetings on the Indigenisation Requirements of Indian Navy: Opportunities for MSMEs on 12th September in New Delhi. The key highlight of this interactive session was the B2B meetings where more than 70 one-on-one meetings took place between the industry and the Indian Navy.

Vice Admiral Sandeep Naithani, AVSM, VSM, Chief of Materiel, Indian Navy, was the Chief Guest for the Conference which also saw the presence of Rear Admiral K Srinivas, Assistant Chief of Materiel, Indian Navy Cdr Deepak Kota, Cdr (Indigenisation) –I, Indian Navy, Mr. Satish Bharathan, General Manager, Larsen & Toubro Limited, Capt. Nikunj Parashar, Founder, Sagar Defence Engineering, Col. Rajneesh Akhoury, VP – Business Development,

TARDIS Technologies Pvt Ltd and Mr. Ajay Rajawat, Project Director- RRU, SASTRA-DIIS. The Welcome Address was given by Mr. Pradeep Multani, President, PHDCCI, and the Vote of Thanks was given by Col. Saurabh Sanyal, Secretary General, PHDCCI.

While addressing the industry stakeholders at PHDCCI’s Indigenisation of requirements of the Indian Navy, Opportunities for MSMEs Vice Admiral Sandeep Naithani, AVSM, VSM, Chief of Materiel, Indian Navy, shared the historic perspective of the Indian Navy which was already following a visionary path for indigenization.

If India has to achieve complete self-reliance then we have to work optimally utilizing our incredible talent pool and make them an efficient part of the ecosystem, in becoming Atmanirbhar, especially in the MSME sector. The Navy has always gone ahead and helped industry and will continue the same, said Vice Admiral Naithani

We have embarked on stable platforms and are working on more such platforms to help the industry and other stakeholders added Vice Admiral Naithani.

Credible testing facilities were a major challenge earlier but now the Indian Navy has come to the forefront in this direction to meet world standards. Underwater ranges, marine turbines, documentation, quality issues all have been worked upon therefore converting each challenge into an opportunity, said, Vice Admiral Sandeep Naithani.

Mr. Pradeep Multani, President, PHDCCI, mentioned that indigenization is the capability of developing and producing any defense equipment within the country for the dual purpose of achieving self-reliance and reducing the burden of imports. Self-reliance in defense manufacturing is one of the key objectives of the Department of Defence Production. As far as indigenization is concerned, we have to take the first steps first where we have the in-house capability to manufacture the materials, components, and assemblies.

Col. K V Kuber, Director (Aerospace & Defence), Ernst & Young LLP, mentioned that the Indian Navy has acquired adequate expertise in the hull design and construction of various types of warships. In the field of propulsion systems (barring Marine Gas Turbines and Propulsion Diesel Engines) and related auxiliaries, support services like air conditioning,

refrigeration, etc., production capabilities are available in the country. Till the recent past, indigenization was focused on import substitution through reverse engineering and was limited to components/subsystems. This method, though helpful in the management of existing inventories, the IN remained saddled with decades-old technology. Indigenization strategy is, therefore, primarily focused on technology development in gap areas rather than requirement-based indigenization.3He added that we are also reasonably self-sufficient in power generation and distribution systems, communication systems, Combat Management Systems, Sonars, and Electronic Warfare Systems.

Mr. Saurabh Sanyal, Secretary General, PHDCCI, while presenting a formal vote of thanks deliberated upon modernization and enhancement of naval capabilities which are an ongoing process. We are assured that the Indian Navy is striving to address the capability enhancement in areas such as aircraft carriers, tankers, landing platform docks, mine countermeasures vessels, submarines, and integral helicopters, added Mr. Sanyal.

Technical Session was moderated by Col K V Kuber.

Cdr. Deepak Kota gave a detailed presentation on the various initiatives and avenues of the Indian Navy and how it provides opportunities to the MSMEs to become a part of the defense supply chain of the Indian Navy. He also invited the MSMEs to participate more and more in the growing indigenization requirements of the Indian Navy.

Mr. Satish Bharathan shared the various initiatives taken by L&T to promote the interest of the MSMEs and that they are keen to take new MSMEs on board in their various projects of the Indian Navy.

Mr. Nikunj Parashar gave insight into the support given by the Indian Navy in handholding the MSMEs and the Start-Ups to the extent possible and integrating them into their supply chain. They are proactively supporting the MSMEs in providing them with newer opportunities. It is for the MSMEs to take benefit out of their initiatives and indigenization plan.

Col. Rajneesh Akhoury shared that their experience of working with the Indian Navy was really amazing for the fact that the Indian Navy wants the Indian companies to come up with new solutions to their problem statements and they are ready to handhold them at all levels.

Mr. Ajay Rajawat said that they had an altogether different level of experience working with the Indian Navy and they had developed solutions for the Indian navy which has been subsequently been indigenized.

More than 70 B2B meetings took place with the Indian Navy Officers. More than 200 industry delegates participated in this meaningful and timely conference.

The event was partnered by L&T, Starware India Ltd. Micron Instruments Pvt. Ltd., and supported by CODISSIA and RRU. EY was the Strategic Partner for the Conference.

Covestro introduces more sustainable polyether polyols based on bio-circular raw materials[1]

Covestro introduces more sustainable polyether polyols based on bio-circular raw materials[1]Now also offers polyether polyols using bio-circular¹ feedstock. Together with renewable1 toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and climate-neutral[2] methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), the company can supply both key raw material components for the production of polyurethane (PU) foams based on alternative raw materials. Like TDI and MDI, the polyols are produced with the help of the mass balance approach using renewable precursors – from biowaste and residual materials – which are allocated to the products by calculation.

PU rigid foams with MDI provide very efficient thermal insulation in buildings and refrigeration equipment. The soft foams using TDI provide a lot of comfort in mattresses and upholstered furniture, as well as in car seats and shoes. And with these polyols, Covestro is now able to offer selective prepolymers for various adhesive applications. The introduced mass balance approach enables the gradual substitution of fossil-based raw materials by bio-circular alternatives, which further improves the sustainability in these applications.

“With the introduction of both main components for polyurethanes based on alternative raw materials, we have reached another important milestone on the road to climate neutrality,” says Sucheta Govil, Chief Commercial Officer of Covestro. “We can now help customers in a variety of industries meet their climate goals and drive the transition to a circular economy. At the same time, we are reducing the CO2 footprint in various value chains.”

Customers can use the more sustainable polyether polyols and isocyanates as a drop-in solution, meaning the raw materials can be quickly and easily integrated into existing production processes without the need for technical modifications. The products offer the same good quality as their fossil-based counterparts and meet the demands of various industries looking for alternative raw materials. They can be easily distinguished from their fossil counterparts through the CQ suffix in the product name. CQ stands for Circular Intelligence and highlights Covestro´s products and initiatives around circularity.
