ASOS: a global fashion heavyweight

ASOS is among the 10 most valuable apparel brands worldwide, competing with the likes of Nike, Adidas, and Zara. Initially catering to the UK market only, the London-based retailer has since expanded its online business and influence across the globe. In 2020, ASOS reported over ** million active customers, many of whom were shopping from the European Union. In addition to soaring user numbers and ever-increasing sales figures, ASOS’s global revenue has also been skyrocketing over the past few years. The company generated more than *** billion British pounds in 2020, a record sum that ASOS mainly contributed to its marketing efforts.

Pure play is here to stay

Unlike other e-commerce fashion giants such as Zalando, which opened outlet locations throughout Germany in the recent past, ASOS remains a pure play business. The company continues to sell its fashion and beauty products exclusively online, a digital focus that is playing off in today’s fast-paced retail landscape. In the year following the onset of the pandemic, the number of visits to asos.com has not fallen below ** million per month, and in November 2020, visitor counts even surpassed the ***-million mark. ASOS’s target audience are tech-savvy 20-something fashion lovers who are more likely to shop online than any generation before them, and even though many consumers have started to return to brick-and-mortar stores, ASOS’s unique online sales approach will likely stand the test of time.
