Uniqlo initially reported strong sales for its fleece and HEATTECH collections, noting that retro fashion trends and versatile color options increased popularity among younger consumers. The company also promoted its HEATTECH Extra Warm cashmere blend series through experiential events in Hong Kong.

However, by November, the company reported a 5.5% decrease in domestic sales for October, which was attributed to difficulties in the winter clothing segment. In response to these market shifts, Uniqlo announced a second collaboration with Copenhagen-based brand Cecilie Bahnsen, featuring a winter-themed collection of fleece items and accessories scheduled for release in late November. Consumer feedback indicated that rising prices due to a weak yen and competition from retailers like Shimamura, Workman, and MUJI contributed to the sales decline.
