The import of men's or boys' garment items like vests, underpants, and other related non-knitted or non-crocheted textile products to the UK shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting from an expected 13.69 million items in 2024, the forecast predicts a consistent decrease each year reaching 10.46 million items by 2028. This suggests a gradual reduction of 8% in 2025, 6.4% in 2026, 6.6% in 2027, and 7% in 2028.
The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period indicates an average annual decrease of about 7% in imports.
- Watch for potential shifts in consumer preferences towards knitted or alternative fabrics.
- Trade policies or import regulations could impact this trend.
- The evolution of domestic production capabilities may influence imports.
