The total market value of Uniqlo's parent company, Japan Fast Retailing Group, reached 10.8725 trillion yen (calculated at the closing price) on February 6. It surpassed ZARA's parent company Inditex of Spain and became the first in the global market value of the clothing industry for the first time, achieving the goal set by its founder Liu 20 1 1. Uniqlo, the core brand of Japan Fast Retailing Company, was founded in 1984. That is a small clothing store selling suits, and now it is a household name. Liu Zairi, the current chairman and general manager, introduced the clothing sales model of hypermarket for the first time, and realized the low-cost operation of the store through the unique commodity planning, development and sales system, which triggered the hot sale of Uniqlo.
ZARA has more than 400 professional designers, and has launched more than 65,438+020,000 products a year, which is five times that of the same industry. And the average age of designers is only 25 years old. They always go to Milan, Tokyo, new york, Paris and other fashion places to watch fashion shows, in order to capture the design concept and the latest trends, and then simulate the launch of high-definition fashion items, which are supplemented twice a week. Every three weeks, it is necessary to fully trade in the old for the new, and all stores around the world can be updated synchronously within two weeks. The high commodity substitution rate also accelerates the customer's return rate, because consumers invisibly establish the important image that ZARA has something new at any time.
Uniqlo has not only achieved growth in China and other Asian regions where the spread of the epidemic has been controlled, but also boosted its market value because it is expected that Fast Retailing will increase its revenue by accelerating digitalization. In the latest quarter, the net profit of Fast Retailing was about 70 billion yen, and Inditex was 866 million euros (about 1 1000 billion yen), which was 1.6 times that of Fast Retailing. ? In the field of clothing, we have reached the position where the total market value is close to the world 1? Liu, president and president of Fast Retailing, said this in a message sent to employees at the beginning of 20021. At present, the market value of the company has risen to 1 of the world clothing enterprises.
It is reported that there are 2,298 stores in Uniqlo business (as of 2020 10 165438+), and Asia (excluding Japan) accounts for 60%. Chinese mainland, in particular, has 79 1 stores, ranking second only to Japan (8 15 stores). In fiscal year 2020 (as of August 2020), the operating profit margin of Greater China (including Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province) was 65,438+04.4%, which was higher than that of Japan (65,438+03%). The financial year 2020 performance report released by the parent company of Uniqlo Fast Retailing Group shows that the operating income and net profit in Greater China are obviously superior to the overall situation of Uniqlo, and it has become the core force in overseas markets. The total annual revenue of China market was 455.9 billion yen (about 28.963 billion yuan), down 9.3% year-on-year, accounting for 54.02% of the brand's overall overseas market.
