{"frame":"chunk","id":"overview","node":{"type":"Callout","props":{"type":"info","message":"Lithuania's outdoor gear market is a small but structurally growing segment within the broader European outdoor equipment ecosystem. The country's total sports equipment market (all categories) was valued in the range of USD 30–80 million across 2018–2024 (Statista Market Insights, Sep 2025), with outdoor equipment as one of eight sub-segments. Applying the European outdoor equipment share (~15–20% of total sports equipment spend) implies a Lithuania-specific outdoor gear market of roughly USD 10–18 million in 2025–2026 — a proxy estimate, not a published standalone figure. The European outdoor gear market as a whole is estimated at USD 18.2–19.0 billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of ~4–6% (EuroDev / Grand View Research, Jun 2026). Lithuania tracks this trajectory, supported by rising disposable incomes, a strong outdoor culture (5th in Europe by lake density), and post-pandemic health-awareness tailwinds."  }}}
