Brassieres market in Lithuania

Earlier Report Observations

The Lithuanian brassieres market showed considerable variation in volume from 2018 to 2024. Consumption rose sharply to 1.3 million units in 2019 before entering a multi-year decline, bottoming out at 480 thousand units in 2022. High inflation during that year pressured household budgets, leading consumers to cut back on non-essential purchases like lingerie.

A decisive recovery began in 2023, with market volume increasing by 28% to 616 thousand units and then surging by 59% to 979 thousand units in 2024. This expansion aligned with positive momentum in the wider apparel sector and a shift in consumer preference toward wireless and bralette styles, reflecting broader global fashion trends.
