Emergence of 3D printing technology will enable the vendors to offer unmatched personalization capacities, which is expected to boost disposable undergarment adoption in the coming years. A key benefit of the technology is that vendors will be able to print and manufacture several units of undergarments at the same time, which saves operational cost and time.Awareness campaigns to educate people about medical conditions such as urinary incontinence by vendors will create and enhance brand image, thereby improving brand recall. For instance, Procter and Gamble (P&G) in collaboration with University of Cincinnati (UC) started the "Live Well" project to create awareness regarding urinary incontinence in terms of innovations for consumers across their lifespan.Environmental pollution has been a major concern for the market, as used disposable undergarments that are made up of plastic, elastics, and superabsorbent polymers take several years to degrade, due to which they pollute the soil and have been severely criticized by stakeholders such as governing and review bodies.Increasing cases of bladder infection, chronic kidney disease, and neurological injuries will spike the consumption of disposable undergarments, owing to frequent urinary leakage. Therefore, there will be a higher adoption rate of products in order to address the leakage issues with comfort, ease, and hygiene.

新疆棉花目标价格“一年一定”改为“三年一定”， 17-19 年目标价格水平确定为 18600 元/吨，与 2016 年持平。本次目标价延长三年一定、锁定在 16 年水平，有利于提振新疆棉农种棉积极性、制定较长时间段的棉花生产计划、进行农田基础建设，进而稳定棉花种植面积和产量。预计 17 年全国棉花播种面积及产量将继续下降，其中新疆棉花播种面积企稳，获益单产提高全年产量有望继续提升。

自 1999 年我国棉花开始转为市场定价后，棉花价格在供需、政策、金融炒作等因素的主导下经历了大起大落。根据中国棉花328 指数走势，可以把我国棉花价格划分为平稳运行、暴涨暴跌、高位震荡、低位震荡和触底反弹五个阶段。其中供需不平衡是导致棉花价格波动的根本原因，2009 年以前供需基本平衡，棉价也维持基本稳定状态，2009 年以后受到棉花产量波动及下游需求开始不振的影响，棉花价格波动范围开始放大，并在政策、资本的推波助澜下，最后呈现过山车式的波动起伏。

2017 年 1-2 月服装类零售额同比下降 1.3%，但降幅相比上年同期收窄了 4.2 个百分点。服装零售略低于预期，显示服饰行业的 整体复苏还未得进一步的确认，目前看以中高端品牌为主的结构性弱复苏特征较为明显。考虑到这一代年轻群体更独立自主的消费观念（对海外品牌不再盲目，对本土品牌不再偏见），本土品牌在设计水平、品牌调性、产品性价比等方面“质”的提升，有机会获得越来越多年轻客群的认可，最终将体现在消费者的回归与销量的逐渐攀升。

下游服饰需求弱复苏有望带动上游纺织行业回暖、增加棉花需求，考虑到应季棉花供需缺口及有限的国储棉库存，棉花价格中长期趋于上涨；储备棉轮出已历时一周、后 3 天出现小幅流拍，考虑到潜在轮出数量大于实现供需缺口、且纺企对于储备棉竞拍处于观望态势，后续出现流拍概率较大，棉价短期走势取决于抛储棉花质量、抛储节奏及出库效率等。政府加大环保监管力度、强制落后产能出清，印染行业供需状况由整体供过于求向中高端产能结构性短缺转变，行业景气度向上；环保支出增加提升企业营运成本、龙头步入前期环保投资回收期，行业格局加速重构。
