CA, UNITED STATES, April 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The waterproof socks market size was valued at USD 77.38 million in 2023 and is expected to be worth USD 80.06 million in 2024. The market is projected to reach USD 116.98 million by 2032, recording a CAGR of 4.77% during the forecast period.

The rising demand for outdoor and sports gear is fueling growth.

Waterproof socks have a waterproof membrane, which keeps the individual’s feet dry and prevents the entry of water into the socks. These socks are extremely useful for people who participate in water sports, such as swimming, boating, and kayaking. These socks are made from numerous types of fabrics, such as cotton, nylon, 100% polyester, and faux leather. Moreover, they are stretchable, comfortable, windproof, and durable, making them a popular product among customers.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic impeded the sales of waterproof socks as lockdowns and social distancing restrictions imposed by the governments led to a decline in people’s participation in water sports.
