The paper provides the results of the research of the revealed comparative advantages of the Baltic States to find out the competitiveness patterns of the Baltic States and their implications for further cooperation. Revealed comparative advantage (RCA) index, comparing exports in three Baltic States with the exports of the EU, have been calculated and analysed. Results show that all the Baltic States have some similar comparative advantages and some unique ones, with Lithuania as a slight leader in the number of goods categories. All the countries compete also for transit flows. Further analysis is needed to distinguish in which fields can all countries cooperate, and where they are direct competitors.
