UNIQLO has been included for the first time on the 'TIME100 Most Influential Companies' list, which highlights companies making an extraordinary impact around the world. In this list, UNIQLO was named in the "Leaders" category, reflecting its growing global recognition and unique LifeWear clothing concept.
In its commentary, TIME noted that UNIQLO's strength is in simplicity, observing how the brand stands out due to its ability to offer high-tech, well-designed everyday clothing to customers worldwide at reasonable prices.
Additionally, earlier in the week, UNIQLO was also recognized among 200 companies on the 'TIME100 Companies: Industry Leaders 2026' list, ranked as one of the world's top ten most influential fashion and beauty companies.
Together, these recognitions reinforce UNIQLO's growing global resonance, as more customers around the world discover, appreciate, and embrace LifeWear - simple, high-quality, everyday clothing designed to make everyone's life better.
To assemble its lists, TIME solicited nominations across sectors, and polled its global network of contributors and correspondents, as well as outside experts. Then TIME editors evaluated each on key factors, including impact, innovation, ambition, and success.
