Price promotions, advertising campaigns, improvements in distribution and growing consumer interest in new products and flavour variants launched earlier in the review period also helped to sustain the positive development of the category.

Value sales of fragrances expanded in 2012 as the category continued to bounce back from the steep declines it suffered during the review period. However, the mood of the companies engaged in the production and marketing of fragrances in Lithuania remained rather gloomy at the end of the review period. There are currently few signs that Lithuanian consumers are prepared to abandon their bargain-hunting mentality. In addition, the companies present in fragrances have limited marketing power and therefore have little choice but to appease their customers by offering deep price discounts. Austere shopping habits also prohibited growth in premium fragrances in 2012 as these products remain largely beyond the budgets of the majority of Lithuanians.

MOCVD equipment is a tool used by semiconductor manufacturers for depositing a very thin layer of compound semiconductor material onto a semiconductor wafer. It is predominantly used in the manufacturing process of III-V compound semiconductors, especially for those that use GaN. These semiconductors are the most important base material for manufacturing LEDs, lasers, power transistors, and photovoltaic cells. Thus, MOCVD equipment is used for manufacturing complex semiconductor multilayer structures that are used in electronic and optoelectronic components. This not only increases the performance of the semiconductor device, but also delivers higher efficiency and switching speed.
