Earlier Report Observations

The Estonian market for women's knitted trousers and shorts expanded from 1.29 million to 1.58 million units between 2018 and 2019, supported by fashion trends emphasizing comfort and the steady flow of imports from European suppliers. This growth was interrupted in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains and shifted consumer spending towards home wear, lowering the market volume to 1.46 million units.

A strong rebound followed in 2021, with volume rising to 1.71 million units, driven by increased consumer interest in shorts and activewear included in the product category. The market volume peaked at 1.86 million units in 2022, while its value stabilized at about $11.1 million, partly because the Product Compliance Act introduced stricter quality requirements that may have influenced pricing.

After the 2022 peak, the market underwent a correction, falling to 1.61 million units in 2023 before recovering slightly to 1.68 million units in 2024.
