For FAST RETAILING to compete among the world’s top players, we believe it is essential, at a minimum, for it to expand its portfolio of Group businesses that have worldclass capabilities and attain net sales of ¥1 trillion. That is why we have set a goal of becoming “a Group with annual net sales of ¥1 trillion and ordinary income of ¥150 billion.“
First, the Group’s core UNIQLO operations have established a position as a top player among SPA enterprises that are integrated from manufacturing through retail sales. UNIQLO is moving ahead with the development of even more competitive materials and products by drawing on the economies of scale of its operations and partnerships with leading partners. In addition, to establish its position as a global brand, UNIQLO is implementing a flagship store strategy in the principal fashion cities in Europe and North America. In parallel with this strategy, in the fast-growing markets of Asia, UNIQLO is accelerating the opening of stores in China (including Hong Kong) and Korea.
In Japan Apparel operations, we see growth potential in the footwear business of ONEZONE and VIEWCOMPANY, the women’s apparel chain store business of CABIN, and the low-price apparel business of G.U.
In Global Brand operations, COMPTOIR DES COTONNIERS, PRINCESSE TAM.TAM, and Theory are fully capable of competing in global markets. We plan to further develop and grow these brands in world markets and add strong brands to our portfolio through M&A.
