What are the top 10 apparel & fashion e-tailers in Asia?
Hello! Thank you for your request submitted to Wonder for a list of the top 10 apparel and fashion e-tailers in Asia. The most useful sources I found to answer your question are Just-Style and retailer websites. The short version is that the top 10 apparel and fashion e-tailers in Asia include Heilan Home, Jack & Jones, Uniqlo, E-Land, La Chapelle, Adidas, Vero Moda, Only, Metersbonwe, and Nike. Below you will find a deep dive of my findings.
OVERVIEW
Since there was no pre-compiled list consolidating the top apparel and fashion brands in Asia, we started our research by discerning the top apparel e-tailers by country and region. We were able to find the "top 5 apparel markets 2012" for Asia. In descending order, they are China, Japan, India, South Korea and Indonesia. Then, we searched for pre-compiled lists of the top brands for each country.
Having found lists for all four countries of China, Japan, India, and South Korea, it was simply a matter of aggregating the data together to compile the list of the top 10 brands in Asia. Due to sheer volume, the top 10 Chinese fashion and apparel brands out-sold the top 10 brands in all of Asia. No brands from the other 4 countries came close.
As per your instructions, we only included brands that sold products online. However, most sell through brick and mortar stores as well. All annual sales data is from 2014, which is the most current data we could find to compare companies. Unfortunately, we were unable to uncover any past or projected growth rates:
