The global compression stockings market size reached USD 1.7 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2.5 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.23% during 2025-2033. The market is majorly driven by the growing prevalence of venous disorders, rising awareness about health and wellness, and an increasing aging population. Additionally, steadily rising awareness regarding the benefits of compression therapy is further encouraging adoption of these stocking, thereby contributing to the market growth.
Compression stockings apply gentle pressure over the ankles and calves to improve blood flow, inhibit the formation of blood clots, and reduce pain. As a result, they help prevent edema, lymphedema, phlebitis, spider and varicose veins, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). They also aid in improving lower extremity symptoms associated with venous insufficiency during pregnancy. Besides this, they can be used as a non-pharmacological treatment option for individuals with orthostatic hypotension (OH). Some of the commonly used compression stockings include graduated compression stockings (GCS), anti-embolism stockings, and non-medical support hosiery.
Compression Stockings Market Trends:
Chronic venous disease (CVD) is widespread, underdiagnosed, and can progress to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and venous leg ulcers (VLU), which require extensive treatment and hospitalization. This, coupled with the rising prevalence of obesity on account of sedentary lifestyles, represents one of the key factors bolstering the growth of the market. Besides this, compression therapy using compression stockings assists in the treatment of VLU as it results in ulcer healing, reduction of pain, and prevention of recurrence. It also helps narrow veins, restore valve competence, minimize ambulatory venous pressure, and reduce venous reflux (VR). In addition, it aids in decreasing inflammatory cytokines and lowering capillary fluid leakage, thereby alleviating limb edema. Moreover, leading players are increasingly focusing on aggressive promotional activities for advertising compression stockings to runners, triathletes, and other endurance athletes. These stockings enhance blood circulation during physical activity, boost athletic performance, and enable rapid recovery. This, along with the burgeoning sports industry, is augmenting the overall sales and profitability. Furthermore, the increasing geriatric population around the world is projected to fuel the market growth.
