Podiatrists are physicians or surgeons specializing in preventing, diagnosing and treating conditions of lower extremities such as feet and ankle.Podiatrists offer comprehensive care for all situations regarding problems with the skin, muscles, ligaments, nerves and bones of the foot and ankle.Podiatrists may suggest diagnostic tests after evaluating symptoms. Diagnosis of the condition leads to treatment options which include either medication, alternative therapy or surgical procedures.Executive SummaryThe podiatry services market comprises services offered by podiatrists (or other physicians) for the diagnosis and treatment of foot ailments such as diabetic foot ulcers, foot infections, corns and calluses, bunions and other foot problems. Podiatry services do not include foot and ankle joint replacement procedures. The global podiatry services market grew from $18,072 million in 2013 to $19,377.4 million in 2017 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.76%. It is expected to grow from $19,377.4 million in 2017 to $21,367.7 million in 2021 at a CAGR of 2.47%. Growth of the market will be driven by increasing geriatric population, rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis and cardiovascular diseases, and increasing awareness about the importance of routine foot health and care. However, global growth will be below the growth of global GDP. The market will be negatively affected by political instability in regions such as the Middle East and by uncertainty in healthcare policies in countries such as the USA, and by budgetary restraints on public provision from some countries in Europe.General podiatry, which includes treatment for diabetic foot ulcers, corns and calluses, bunions and nail infections, is the largest segment in podiatry services. This is mainly due to the increasing prevalence of diabetes and other comorbid conditions along with increasing awareness about podiatry and the importance of foot care. By treatment condition, diabetes that lead to foot disorders is the primary comorbid condition and is due to the increasing diabetic population and associated diabetes related foot diseases across the globe. By facility, clinics are the largest segment followed by hospitals and other facilities such as homecare organizations and nursing homes.North America is the world's largest region for podiatry services. In 2017, it accounted for about 31.2% of the global podiatry services market, due to its rising elderly population, high healthcare expenditure, skilled workforce and the availability of advanced treatments for various foot disorders. The podiatry services market in Western Europe is the second largest in the world accounting for 27.5% of the global podiatry services market in 2017. Podiatry clinics are the largest provider of podiatry services in these regions and this is mainly due to less regulation in comparison with hospitals and the fact that most foot care treatment is provided on an outpatient basis, not requiring an overnight stay, so convenience of access is also a significant factor in the market.Government initiatives to expand healthcare insurance to include podiatry services will boost the market globally. Developing countries such as China and Brazil have reformed their healthcare policies to provide better access to healthcare such as podiatry services. In view of the fact that foot disorders arise mainly because of comorbid conditions hospitals and clinics providing podiatry services should employ a multidisciplinary approach where a patient is treated by podiatrist along with other physicians such as endocrinologists, orthopedists, vascular specialists and others who can diagnose and treat the underlying condition.The global podiatry services market is highly fragmented among many solo practices by private practitioners. Major providers of podiatry services include the UK's National Health Service, Kaiser Permanente, UPMC and Mayo Clinic.DescriptionWhere is the largest and fastest growing market for Podiatrists?
