ECCO’s commitment to the Indian market shows the nation’s expanding golf infrastructure and the rising popularity of the sport which will contribute to the growth of golf shoe market.

Expansion of Golf Infrastructure is Driving Market Growth

The development of golf facilities in India is one of the key factors responsible for boosting the demand for golf shoes. Due to the rising numbers of golf courses, driving ranges and training academics everywhere in India, more people are embracing the sport which results in the increasing demand for specialized golf footwear.

India now has more than 429 golf courses and new clubs are being set up in metropolitan cities. Government initiatives like the growth of golf tourism and corporate funding have also promoted the sport's profile. Famous tournaments such as the Hero Indian Open and Tata Steel PGTI Tour have gained international fame which draws professional and amateur golfers. Moreover, luxury real estate projects with golf courses in gated communities make the sport more accessible to ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

Additionally, growth in the golf infrastructure has also led to an additional demand for high-performing golf shoes. Golf shoes, the stable, gripping and comfort-driven ones have emerged as the most sought-after footwear for players looking for better performance in different landscapes. Key international brands such as ECCO, Adidas and FootJoy have increased presence in India that provides technologically advanced shoes as per local conditions. Meanwhile, e-commerce platforms have made premium golf footwear more accessible to enthusiasts across the country.

As India further develops its golf infrastructure, the need for golf shoes will increase reflecting a wider trend of rising popularity for the sport and the increasing presence of international brand names in the Indian market. For instance, in December 2024, New Delhi commissioned a spanking new golf course in Dwarka. Covering 158 acres, this 18-hole, 7377-yard course is positioned as India's longest golf course. The complex also has a golf training academy and a professional pro shop that will offer professional instruction and high-end golf equipment such as top-of-the-range golf shoes. The flow of new golfers and professionals training at this center is bound to raise the demand for golf shoes.

Technological Advancement in Footwear is Propelling Market Expansion

The innovations in footwear technology are largely helping to drive up the demand for golf shoes in India. Today's golf shoes feature advanced materials, advanced designs and better comfort features that render to both professionals and amateurs who play golf.

One of the most important innovations is better traction and stability. Top brands such as Adidas, Puma and ECCO employ spikeless constructions with state-of-the-art grip technology that provides better stability across various landscapes with enduring comfort for prolonged play. Moreover, light and airy material like engineered mesh and Gore-Tex waterproofing has added strength and weather resistance which enables golf shoes to adapt to India's varying weather conditions better.

Another important aspect is personalized fit and cushioning technology. Companies such as FootJoy and Skechers have launched memory foam insoles and responsive midsole cushioning that offer superior foot support and minimizes fatigue. Additionally, intelligent footwear technology such as motion sensors and pressure-mapping insoles is also on the horizon which further assists golfers for analyzing their stance and weight distribution for improved performance.

In addition, the growing use of environmentally friendly materials is also affecting consumer trends. Brands such as ECCO are employing environmentally friendly leather manufacturing processes which are in line with the demand for eco-friendly products. With India's golfing infrastructure growing more players are looking for performance-enhancing equipment, technologically advanced golf shoes are becoming a necessity and not a luxury. This is also driven by the availability of international brands via e-commerce that has made high-tech golf shoes easily accessible to Indian consumers. For instance, in February 2024, Adidas launched the TOUR360 24 golf shoe that boasts a total redesign with an emphasis on fitness, durability and performance.

Spiked Shoes Segment is Leading the Market Share

The spiked shoes segment has continued to dominate the Indian golf shoes market with strong statistics in the market. Due to their superior traction, stability and suitability for diverse playing conditions. Golf courses in India often feature varying terrains including hilly landscapes and wet or humid climates where spiked shoes provide a firm grip which reduces the risk of slipping during swings.

Professional golfers and serious amateurs prefer spiked shoes because they offer enhanced support during powerful swings which ensures better balance and control. The availability of advanced cleat technology from brands like Adidas, FootJoy and Puma has further strengthened their appeal. Many modern spiked shoes feature replaceable soft spikes made from lightweight materials which allow combination of comfort and grip without damaging the greens.

Moreover, spikeless shoes are gaining popularity for their versatility and casual appeal, Indian golfers still prioritize performance and durability which makes the spiked shoes the preferred choice. Additionally, golf academics and training centers often recommend spiked shoes for beginners which further drives their dominance. With continued investment in high-quality golf infrastructure and increasing participation in professional golf the demand for spiked shoes is expected to remain strong which reinforces their leading position in Indian golf shoe market.
