In 2023, the import volume of men's or boys' underpants and briefs of knitted or crocheted textiles to the UK was 139.15 million items. Forecasts indicate a slight, consistent decrease in volume from 2024 to 2028, with year-on-year variations just below 0.2%. This suggests a modest downward trend, with an average annual decrease (CAGR) over the five-year period of about 0.22%.

Future trends to monitor include:

Changes in consumer preferences and innovations in textile technology potentially impacting demand.
Economic factors influencing purchasing power and import practices.
Sustainability initiatives that might alter sourcing and materials.
