Inditex Targets US for Next Growth Phase

Inditex is targeting the United States as a key market for its next growth stage. CEO Óscar García Maceiras told Reuters that the fashion retailer is opening new locations and upgrading existing stores to reach aspirational shoppers.

The company plans 20 expansion projects in the United States by 2027. The Americas region accounted for 17.9% of consolidated net sales in the first half of 2026.

This push comes alongside a streamlined global network. Inditex has reduced its store count by 27% from its historic peak, cutting 2,000 stores compared to its January 2019 baseline. Total commercial selling space decreased by 7%.

In the first half of 2026, Inditex generated 19.8 billion euros in consolidated net sales, marking an increase of 7.6% in reported currency and 9.2% at constant exchange rates. Consolidated net income rose 6.8% to 3.0 billion euros, while the gross margin reached 58.7% and operating expenses climbed 8.3%. The company holds a market capitalization of roughly 170 billion euros.
