Women's woven trousers and shorts market in Lithuania

Earlier Report Observations

The market for women's woven trousers and shorts in Lithuania displayed notable volatility in volume from 2018 to 2024. After growing from 2.3 million units in 2018 to a peak of 2.5 million units in 2020, volume contracted sharply to 2.1 million units in 2021. It then recovered strongly to 2.7 million units in 2022, dipped again in 2023, and reached its highest point at nearly 3.0 million units in 2024. In contrast, the market value demonstrated robust and consistent expansion, more than doubling from USD 15.4 million in 2018 to USD 34.9 million in 2024, with a particularly steep increase of over 38% in 2021.

Underlying these trends were significant shifts in supply chains. Domestic production entered a sustained decline, falling from 2.2 million units in 2018 to 0.9 million units in 2024. This was offset by imports, which remained the dominant supply source, fluctuating between 2.8 and 3.8 million units annually. Concurrently, export volumes were nearly halved, dropping from 3.3 million units to 1.7 million units, which helped maintain available volume in the domestic market despite the falling local output.

The clear divergence between volume fluctuations and strong value growth points to a structural change within the market, likely involving a consumer shift towards higher-value items or an increase in average unit prices. This transformation resulted in a market that, while seeing variable unit sales, delivered substantially greater economic value by the end of the period.
