Based on product type market is segmented into shoes, slippers, sneakers, sandals, and others (socks). Shoes types are majorly preferred diabetic footwear in South Korea. Diabetics frequently have problems with their feet as a result of neuropathy and poor circulation. In order to mitigate the risk of foot injuries and problems, specialized shoes are made to fit these specific circumstances. Extra space and cushioning are used in the construction of diabetic shoes to minimize pressure points and friction, which lowers the risk of blisters, calluses, and ulcers. This tailored fit is a common priority for diabetic shoes made in South Korea. In South Korea, the selection of stylish diabetic footwear options has grown recently. By combining fashion and utility, these shoes are more enticing to wear on a regular basis. Based on foot condition market is bifurcated into neuropathy, ulcers and deformities. Neuropathy increases the chance of injuries going undiscovered because it reduces the feeling of pain or discomfort in the feet. Cuts, blisters, and ulcers can be avoided with diabetic footwear's increased cushioning, protective features, and well-fitting design. In South Korea, the emphasis on a personalized fit for diabetic footwear is typically due to changes in the foot caused by neuropathy. The purpose of these shoes is to lessen the annoyance and pain brought on by neuropathy symptoms. Quality and innovation are prioritized in the diabetic footwear market in South Korea. In order to successfully address issues associated with neuropathy, manufacturers create cutting-edge shoes with characteristics like seamless interiors, breathable materials, and supporting soles. In terms of distribution channel market is segmented into specialty stores, hypermarket/ supermarket, online platform and others (pharmacy store, brand outlets). Majorly diabetic footwear’s are distributed through specialty stores in South Korea. Specialty stores typically carry a wider variety of diabetic shoes than general shoe stores. This allows people with diabetes to find shoes that fit their specific needs and preferences. South Koreans place a high value on health and preventive care. This has led to a growing demand for diabetic footwear in recent years. Some of the popular specialty stores selling diabetic footwear in South Korea include Sungwoo Footcare, Podoshop, Woojung Medical and many more. Based on end use segment market is divided into women, men and kids. Women are expected to be the major end user of diabetic footwear in South Korea.

More stylish solutions for diabetic shoes are being offered by manufacturers, appealing to women who desire both practicality and flair.
