Desktop computers market in Lithuania, 2026

Earlier Report Observations

The desktop computer market in Lithuania showed considerable volatility between 2018 and 2025. Market volume measured in units fell sharply from 27 219 in 2018 to 17 730 in 2019, then stabilized around 20 000 to 21 000 units through 2020 and 2021. Another contraction brought the volume down to 15 389 units in 2022.

A pronounced recovery started in 2023, with the market expanding by 55% to 23 928 units. This surge aligned with growth in Lithuania's real estate sector and demographic trends, which increased demand for computers in new residential and commercial properties. The upward momentum continued in 2024, with volume reaching 36 545 units, partly driven by the global expansion of 5G networks and edge computing, which raised the need for localized data processing hardware.

Domestic production of desktop computers fluctuated in parallel, declining from 13 007 units in 2018 to a low of 11 562 in 2019 before recovering to 16 970 units by 2024. Variations in import and export levels contributed to the overall market size changes throughout the period.
