Zara owner Inditex posts record profit in 2025
Inditex Reports Record Annual Profit for Third Consecutive Year
Inditex, the Spanish multinational known for its flagship brand Zara, announced a record annual profit of €6.22 billion ($7.23 billion) for the fiscal year ending January 31. This marks a six percent increase from the previous year’s profit of €5.9 billion, which was also a record for the company.
The group, which includes popular brands such as Massimo Dutti, Pull & Bear, and Bershka, reported total sales growth of 3.2 percent, reaching €39.9 billion. The company attributed its success to a 4.8 percent rise in online sales, reflecting strong consumer demand across various platforms.
In a statement, Inditex announced that sales were positive across all segments and geographical regions, when adjusted for constant currency. The company also noted a strong start to its first quarter, with sales—both in-store and online—rising by nine percent from the same period in 2024.
As the budget fashion retailer Shein continues to gain market share, Inditex has shifted its strategy for the Zara brand, focusing on appealing to more discerning shoppers by offering higher-priced clothing options. The company is also enhancing its logistics operations to expedite online order deliveries and is investing in larger, more modern retail spaces, while closing smaller stores.
Inditex projects a five percent growth in total retail space for 2026, following an increase of 5.3 percent in the previous year. As of the end of January, the company operated 5,460 stores worldwide, a decrease of 103 from the previous year.
