The forecast for UK imports of men's or boys' underpants and briefs made of non-knitted or crocheted textile fabric projects a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 8.17 million items in 2024 and decreasing approximately 7.5% annually, culminating in 5.26 million items by 2028. In 2023, imports were notably more substantial, establishing a downward trend over the five-year period. This decrease reflects a CAGR of approximately -10% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and ethically produced materials, which could influence import volumes. Additionally, fluctuations in trade policies or tariffs post-Brexit could impact cost structures and demand dynamics for these imports.
