Men's underwear is clothing that is worn next to the skin in order to keep the private area dry and clean. They are basically intimate clothes that shape the body properly. Men's underwear is made from raw materials like polyester, cotton, rayon, nylon, and silk. They play an important role in maintaining hygiene and comfort by providing proper shapes for the private areas. Furthermore, undergarments are worn to prevent genital skin infections caused by unsanitary conditions in intimate areas and physical activities that rub the skin repeatedly. This causes various skin infections in the genital areas.
Global Men’s Underwear Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the illness caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which first appeared in Wuhan (province of Hubei, China), in the last months of 2025, as "coronavirus disease 2025" or COVID-19. This virus spreads quickly and had a serious negative impact on the economies, social behaviours, and healthcare of every country in the world.
COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to the lockdown, several countries, such as India, China, Brazil, and others, faced problems regarding the transportation of things from one place to another.
Major players functioning in the market are adopting new strategies in order to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Producers are opting out of the retail sector across the globe and encouraging their customers for adopting online channel. This scenario is expected to fuel the growth of the ecommerce channel in fashion clothing and apparel industry across the globe.
Global men’s underwear market has been adversely affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. In the U.S., overall sales of apparel witnessed a drop of about 19.0% from 2019 to 2020, with the overall decline amounting to about USD 42.0 billion in 2020, as per an article published in March 2021 in The Underfashion Club, Inc., a non-profit organization supporting the intimate apparel industry.

This is expected to positively impact the market growth during the forecast period.
