Brassiere, sleepwear, panty, shapewear, and daywear are the five varieties of lingerie.

High competition, on the other hand, due to the existence of a comparatively large number of global and local intimate apparel manufacturers, is likely to be the key restraining factor for the growth of the U.S. men's underwear and women's lingerie market during the forecast period.
The U.S. men's underwear & women's lingerie market is expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 6.1% during the forecast period, due to an increase in the availability of a diverse variety of goods based on styles and functions, such as normal wear and sporty men's underwear.

Men's increasing awareness of health and fitness, as well as personal hygiene, is driving them to use two fresh/clean sets of underpants every day. Aside from that, rising disposable income, an on-the-go lifestyle, higher living standards, and changing customer tastes are fuelling market revenue growth.
Furthermore, the proliferation of modern retail formats such as supermarkets, discount stores, and pharmacy stores is increasing product visibility. Additionally, the availability of a wide range of reduced intimate clothing goods for men and women is fuelling the online shopping trends for men's underwear.

The relevance of organised merchants that supply branded lingerie apparel has grown as client demand for branded items has soared.
