“Viči” Dumpling Production Surge in 2025: Growth Reaches Nearly 30%
Today, dumplings are experiencing a true renaissance—they are being rediscovered in modern kitchens through experimentation with unexpected fillings, spices, and preparation methods.
Despite all contemporary interpretations, dumplings remain a dish that connects different generations and cultures, with every bite carrying a small piece of history and togetherness.
The year 2025 has been marked by exceptionally strong growth in the dumpling market. Both increased “Viči” production volumes and an expanded sales geography have been recorded, while consumers remain loyal to traditional flavors and, at the same time, are eager to try innovations.
Production Volumes Increased to 7,681 Tons
From January to October 2025, 7,681 tons of dumplings were produced. This is a significant result, reflecting steadily growing demand in both domestic and export markets.
Compared to the same period in 2024, production increased by approximately 29%. Such a leap can confidently be described as one of the most important achievements of recent years.
This year’s production growth was largely driven by higher sales volumes—up by around 26%. As annual figures continue to rise, dumplings are gaining popularity not only in Lithuania but also abroad.
Currently, “Viči” dumpling products are exported to 38 countries worldwide, and this broad geographic reach provides a solid foundation for further growth.
Meat and Poultry Dumplings Remain the Most Popular
Although the market is offering an increasing variety of new flavors, consumer preferences remain relatively stable.
Traditional dumplings with meat or poultry are the most popular, and “Orka Foods” is actively expanding the assortment within this category.
At the same time, consumers are increasingly willing to experiment with new flavors and combinations, leading to growing demand for innovative recipes. This creates a natural balance between familiar, time-tested products and new, exciting flavors, which are especially appealing to younger consumers.
2026 Outlook: Growth Expected to Continue
Production prospects for the coming year also remain highly optimistic. “Viciunai Group” is expanding its international operations—new sales companies have been established in the United States and Canada, which is expected to further strengthen export positions.
It is anticipated that in 2026 the company will continue to expand its sales geography and increase production volumes while maintaining a steady growth rate.
