The global pickleball shoe market is experiencing rapid growth driven by the sport’s surging popularity worldwide. Valued at approximately $561.8 million in 2025, the market is projected to nearly double to $1.1 billion by 2032, growing at a 10% CAGR. This expansion is fueled by increasing numbers of players across all age groups and the rise of professional leagues demanding specialized, performance-enhancing footwear. Leading brands such as Asics, Adidas, Nike, and New Balance are scaling up production by 15% annually in 2024 to meet this demand, offering competitively priced shoes averaging $75 in the US, with premium models reaching $150.
Significant growth is noted in the Asia Pacific region, with countries like China, India, and Australia driving an 18% market increase in 2024, alongside strong consumption in North America and Europe. Imports surged 22% due to limited domestic manufacturing in emerging markets. Consumer preferences favor lightweight, breathable, and abrasion-resistant shoes, prompting innovation in materials and ergonomic designs. Sustainability is also becoming a key focus, with brands adopting recyclable materials and eco-friendly packaging starting in 2025 to meet evolving consumer expectations.
