Increasing Obesity and Sedentary Lifestyles Drives the Market Growth

The rising prevalence of obesity and sedentary lifestyles has led to increased usage of compression garments and stockings across various population groups. Prolonged sitting, lack of physical activity, and growing rates of metabolic disorders have contributed to a surge in vascular conditions such as varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and chronic venous insufficiency. In response, compression therapy is being adopted as a non-invasive, preventive, and therapeutic approach to support circulatory health and alleviate swelling and discomfort in the lower limbs.

Healthcare providers are recommending compression wear not only for at-risk individuals but also for the general population as part of preventive wellness routines. Urbanization, desk-bound work cultures, and aging demographics particularly in developed markets are further contributing to wider adoption. As awareness of circulatory health risks increases, compression wear continues to gain traction in both medical and lifestyle applications, supporting sustained market growth.

Key Findings of the Study

Rising Demand for Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Compression Fabrics

The growing consumer and regulatory focus on sustainability is fueling demand for eco-friendly materials in compression garments and stockings. As awareness of environmental impact increases, consumers are seeking products made from sustainable fibers such as recycled nylon, bamboo, organic cotton, and biodegradable elastane alternatives. These materials reduce dependence on petroleum-based synthetics, lower carbon emissions during production, and enhance recyclability features that resonate strongly in both medical and athleisure segments. Brands are increasingly incorporating these greener textiles to align with circular economy principles while maintaining the necessary compression, durability, and comfort.

This shift opens the door for textile innovators and compression wear manufacturers to differentiate themselves through sustainability-focused product lines. Beyond environmental benefits, eco-conscious compression garments also help meet ESG and green procurement standards, making them attractive to healthcare providers, retailers, and insurers. As regulations around textile waste and carbon footprints continue to tighten, early adoption of sustainable materials presents a strategic opportunity to lead in a market steadily evolving toward more responsible production and consumption practices.
