Zara, Bershka, Pull and Bear, Massimo Dutti, Stradivarius,  Zara Home, Oysho etc ... Brands we are all familiar with but were you aware these brands are all part of the same family? The Inditex group, the worlds largest retailer by value is the umbrella group for all these household names. 

Inditex, as a group has gone from strength to strength over the past number of years and only recently announced year end figures which show their net profit increasing by 12% from €1.73bn to €1.93bn! This growth can be attributed to many factors, most notably the development of all the brands online presence and also the rate at which the group are expanding into new and existing markets. Inditex opened 483 new stores over 82 markets in the past year and have focused quite heavily on developing the brands in China. 

"The new markets entered over the year were Azerbaijan, Taiwan, Australia, South Africa and Peru, while 132 outlets were opened in China, 30 of which were Zara, while the others were from other Inditex brands such as Oysho and Zara Home.
