Women's woven skirts market in Latvia

Earlier Report Observations

The market for women's woven skirts in Latvia expanded from 235.3 thousand units in 2018 to 251.6 thousand units in 2019, with value rising from 2.9 million to 3.1 million US dollars. This initial growth was supported by local fashion trends favoring glitzy, colorful styles with shorter skirts, particularly in smaller towns and among ethnic minorities. However, in 2020, market volume dropped sharply to 176 thousand units, equivalent to 1.6 million US dollars.

A recovery followed in 2021, as the market value rebounded to 2.5 million US dollars. This upturn coincided with growing consumer awareness of sustainability and eco-friendly fashion, influenced by EU Green Deal initiatives, as well as a preference for minimalist and floral patterns. Subsequent years saw the market shaped by the expansion of e-commerce, which improved access and distribution channels, while ongoing EU regulations on sustainability and labeling continued to steer production and consumer choices toward more responsible fashion.
