The Spanish fashion giant, which owns Zara and Pull&Bear, reported a 7% increase in total sales for the year, reaching €39.9 billion (£34.5 billion) in 2025, up from € 37.2 billion (£ 31.5 billion) in 2024.
Pre-tax profits rose by 5.8%, totalling €8 billion (£6.9 billion), with Zara alone contributing €5.6 billion (£4.8 billion).
All of Inditex’s brands, including Massimo Dutti, Bershka, and Stradivarius, experienced growth, particularly during the spring and summer collections.
Store and online sales between February and March 8 increased by 9% year-on-year.
The retailer credited part of its success to advancements in technology and artificial intelligence. Notably, it improved store layouts, expanded into popular locations, and launched Zara Try-On—an AI-powered virtual fitting experience. This feature allows customers to create avatars using their photos and digitally try on products. The system is currently available in 43 global markets and has generated over seven million sessions, with plans to expand to other brands.
Inditex has also enhanced in-store security by replacing traditional tags with small chips, aiming to reduce shoplifting while improving the shopping experience.
These results are promising for the high street, particularly following a challenging period for UK retailers like Claire’s Accessories, River Island, Russell & Bromley, and Quiz, many of which faced closures or entered administration.
By the end of 2025, Inditex operated 5,460 stores worldwide, showcasing its resilience and adaptability despite challenging global retail conditions.
Chief executive Oscar Garcia Maceiras, said these results “reflect the ability of our teams to honour the trust that millions of customers place in our eight commercial formats every day”.
“Connecting with them, understanding their desires and delivering the best product and a differentiated experience underpin our long-term growth expectations.”
