In 2023, the import volume of knitted or crocheted men's and boys' underpants or briefs of cotton to China stood lower than the forecasted 2024 data. The projected growth from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent year-on-year increase, varying between 1.68% and 1.54%. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be approximately 1.64%. This trend suggests a stable increase in demand or need for imported cotton undergarments in China.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in domestic production versus imported goods as China's textile industry evolves.
Changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable or alternative fabric materials could impact future import volumes.
Trade relations and tariff changes which may affect the cost and volume of imports.
