Report Overview
Knitted underwear refers to undergarments made using knitting techniques, typically from soft, stretchable fabrics like cotton, bamboo, or synthetic blends such as modal, polyester, or elastane. These garments are designed for comfort, breathability, and fit, catering to everyday wear as well as specialized needs like moisture-wicking for active lifestyles or thermal insulation for cold weather. Unlike woven underwear, knitted variants offer superior elasticity, conforming closely to the body without restricting movement. The category includes a wide range of styles, from briefs and boxers to bralettes and shapewear, often emphasizing seamless designs and smooth finishes to reduce visible panty lines. Innovations in fabric technology, such as antibacterial treatments and eco-friendly materials, are increasingly shaping the segment, aligning with consumer demand for performance-driven and sustainable intimate apparel. The market spans mass-produced options to premium, ethically sourced collections, appealing to diverse demographics across price points.
The global Knitted Underwear market size was estimated at USD 354.64 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.20% during the forecast period.
