There are generally two types of men's undergarments; one type covers the torso and the other covers the waist and legs. For undershirt, we include vest, sleeved vest and muscle vest. For briefs, we include regular briefs, trunk and boxer shorts. Long underwear is preferred to offer extra warmth to wearers during winters.

Growing disposable income, preference for branded underwear that offer better fit and comfort are major factors fuelling demand for premium underwear, thereby driving the growth of the men's underwear market. However, a high degree of competition and unorganised market in developing countries are major factors hampering the growth of the overall men's underwear market.

The men's underwear market in Europe and North America is expected to expand at CAGRs of 5.1% and 3.9% respectively during the forecast period. On the basis of age group, the market has been segmented into 15–25, 26–35, 36–45, 46–55 and 56 and above.
