Competitive Landscape
Uniqlo Consolidates Its Lead as Rivals Face Pressure
The apparel and footwear specialist landscape in Thailand is moderately concentrated in 2025, with the top three players taking 46% retail value share. Uniqlo remained the leading apparel and footwear specialist, supported by its expansive national footprint and strong brand equity across multiple consumer segments.
Mothercare Faces Pressure From the Digital Retail Shift
In contrast to Uniqlo, competitors such as H&M and local fashion labels continued to face pressure from both e-commerce platforms and value-driven shoppers. Mothercare recorded the steepest drop in share, as its premium-priced maternity and baby products became less competitive with the growing availability of lower-priced alternatives on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.

Country Reports Disclaimer
Apparel and Footwear Specialists
Apparel and footwear specialists are chained or independent retail outlets with a primary focus on selling one or more of the following categories: clothing, footwear, and/or fashion accessories (costume jewellery, sunglasses, belts, hats, gloves, handbags, scarves, etc.). Apparel specialists include specialty apparel like wedding dress shops. Example brands include Primark, TJ Maxx, and Zara. Sportswear retailers, such as Adidas and Nike, are excluded from this channel and are included in Sports Goods Stores; this is due to the companies considering themselves sports companies as opposed to apparel companies.
