In 2023, the re-import volume of not knitted or crocheted men's and boys' underpants or briefs of cotton to China stood at a value unknown. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 suggests a steady upward trend, with a year-on-year increase of 3.9% in 2025, 3.7% in 2026, 3.5% in 2027, and 3.3% in 2028. The 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is approximately 3.6%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changing consumer preferences towards sustainable and local products, which could impact import levels negatively.
Possible fluctuations in international trade policies affecting import and re-import capabilities.
Advancements in textile technology that might change production dynamics, potentially influencing local manufacturing versus re-import decisions.
