The UK import of knitted or crocheted men's and boys' underpants or briefs of man-made fibre is expected to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 10.241 million in 2024, the import value rises gradually each year, reaching 10.384 million in 2028. Considering 2023 data as a base, these figures represent a consistent upward trend, indicating a positive outlook in this segment. The year-on-year growth rate is modest, showcasing a stable demand.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in fashion trends affecting material preferences.
- Potential impacts from changing trade policies post-Brexit.
- Growing consumer preference for sustainable materials, potentially affecting man-made fibres.
