Fast Retailing, the parent company of Uniqlo, has experienced significant financial growth and international expansion. In September 2026, the company prepared to launch the UNIQLO : C collection designed by Clare Waight Keller, coinciding with reports that the company was on track for record-high profits for the fiscal year ending August 2026.

By October 2026, Fast Retailing confirmed a 25.3% increase in net profit for the fiscal year, reaching 542.5 billion yen. Total sales rose 16.6% year-on-year to 3.96 trillion yen. This growth was driven largely by a 26.3% increase in international sales, particularly through expansions in Europe and North America. 

CEO Tadashi Yanai has set a goal to become the world’s top clothing retailer. For the fiscal year ending August 2027, the company forecasts a 12.3% revenue increase and plans to expand its global store network to 3,545 locations, with a strategic focus on India, Australia, and Southeast Asia.
