Women's woven blouses and shirts market in Hungary

Earlier Report Observations

The market for women's woven blouses and shirts in Hungary contracted significantly in volume terms between 2018 and 2023, falling from over 9 300 thousand units to just 1 600 thousand units. This decline was interrupted by a partial recovery in 2024, when the market volume rebounded to 2 700 thousand units. In value terms, the market initially grew slightly to nearly 31 million USD in 2019 before entering a downward trend that lasted until 2023, mirroring the volume contraction.

The shrinkage in domestic production, which dropped from 375 thousand units in 2018 to 157 thousand units in 2024, contributed to the reduced market size. Imports also fell sharply over the period, particularly after 2019, while exports increased, further reducing the volume available for domestic consumption. The market's value trajectory suggests changes in average prices or product mix, as the monetary decline was less pronounced than the physical drop until 2021.
