From 2013 to 2023, Austria's market size for men's and boys' underpants and briefs made of non-knitted or crocheted textile fabric showed a general decline in volume per capita. Starting at 0.2 units per capita and descending to 0.11 in 2023, noticeable reductions appeared particularly post-2017. Year-over-year comparisons reveal a slight recovery to 0.14 in 2021 but an overall downward trend with a 5-year CAGR that underscores a continuation of this decrease.

Future trends to watch include:

Sustainability-driven production processes and materials.
Shifting consumer preferences towards innovative non-textile materials.
Potential economic factors influencing purchasing power and demand in global markets.
