Social Media Will Rise Demand of Chunky Sneaker Market

Though the majority of consumers, sneakerheads or not, will always favor chunky sneakers with a straightforward silhouette, millennials feel more pressure to stand out. Social media use has raised the importance of having a distinctive appearance and being one of a kind. Using social media is among the most common internet pastimes.

Market Dynamics of the Chunky Sneaker

Rise in Cost of Raw Materials To Hinder Market Growth

A number of reasons have contributed to a notable increase in the cost of raw materials used in the production of high-end shoes. The increased demand for high-end chunky sneakers worldwide has led to heightened competition among shoemakers and an increase in the demand for raw materials. Further, because of the increased pressure on pricing brought on by the rising demand, it is now much harder for manufacturers to find these raw materials. The cost of raw materials is also rising dramatically due to currency exchange rates. If the country from which the raw materials are produced sees an increase in value relative to the currency utilized by shoemakers, the cost of these raw materials will rise. As a result, during the projected period, these factors are anticipated to impede market expansion.

Impact of COVID–19 on the Chunky Sneaker Market

The global chunky sneaker market has suffered as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak. The government shut down industrial units and enforced a rigorous lockdown in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Amidst the lockdown and a decline in worldwide demand, sales plummeted to their lowest points throughout the pandemic. In terms of business, COVID-19 has had a significant detrimental effect. Large losses resulted from the epidemic since every retail location was closed. Major brands, including Adidas Inc. and Puma AG, reported sharp drops in sales in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. A few highly sought-after Jordans that were scheduled to release in March instead made their way to Nike.com, SNKRS, and other locations at a later time due to the COVID-19 pandemic's ef...
