Lithuania’s retail sector strengthened markedly in March 2026, with year-over-year sales growth rising to 5.7%, up from 2.2% in February 2026. The data, updated on 28 April 2026, indicate a solid acceleration in consumer activity compared with the same period a year earlier.
Both the current and previous readings are based on a year-over-year comparison, measuring how retail sales in each month stack up against the same month of the prior year. The move from 2.2% in February to 5.7% in March suggests an improving momentum in household spending, adding a positive signal for Lithuania’s domestic demand outlook as the second quarter of 2026 begins.
