The market size for women's or girls' slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pyjamas, dressing gowns, negligees, bathrobes, and similar articles of knitted or crocheted textiles in the UK is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the market stood at a notable volume but projections indicate a consistent decrease, with an average annual contraction rate (CAGR) signaling weakened demand over this period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer fashion preferences towards more casual or alternative garment styles.
Growing concerns around sustainability possibly leading to increased demand for eco-friendly materials.
Impact of economic factors such as inflation affecting consumer purchasing power and discretionary spending on non-essential clothing items.
