Alongside international online expansion Inditex has also entered new markets with physical stores in 2012 which has fuelled brand awareness and driven sales. Markets entered include China, Bosnia, Peru and Ecuador providing it with a vast brand coverage across its fascias. This Verdict company briefing includes UK clothing sales data split down by womenswear, menswear, childrenswear and footwear.

- Understand Inditex´s vertically integrated fashion business model to glean how investment in this area could aid your own business.

Key Highlights

Inditex´s investment

 

 

in its Spanish production & distribution capacity will reinforce its advantage of speed to market by building on its existing economies of scale. It is currently distributing to its stores globally via Spain but in the long run we believe it may have to consider regional sourcing and distribution hubs to contain logistics costs

There was a slowing in the pace of turnover growth in 2011/12, to 10.1% from 13.0%. Most of the increase was driven by new space, with like-for-like growth contributing 4.0%. The fastest increase was achieved by accessories chain Uterqüe, up 15.3%. This vindicates the strategy of having faster emerging brands compensating for Zara maturing.

Inditex´s UK clothing sales performance has bounced back from its slowdown in 2010/11, but has not yet returned to its pre-recession pace. Instead it has focused on improving profit margins and with few stores being opened in the UK we expect growth to be much slower from now on.
