Read our privacy policy Zara owner Inditex has revealed slower sales growth at the start of its crucial Christmas shopping season, despite strong demand for its autumn and winter ranges. The Spanish fast fashion giant reported a 10.5% rise in sales on a constant currency basis in the first nine months of 2024, but this was lower than expected in the market and the firm added that growth had slowed to 9% in the five weeks to December 9. Inditex said nine-month sales grew across all its brands, which also includes Massimo Dutti, Pull & Bear, Bershka and Stradivarius.
