Falabella reports 9.2% sales growth in 2025 Q1
What: Falabella achieved 9.2% sales growth in the first half of 2025, driven by strong performance in fashion and its multi-specialist retail strategy.
Why it is important: The group’s results demonstrate the effectiveness of combining fashion leadership, digital transformation, and shopping center expansion to sustain regional retail growth.
Falabella’s first-half 2025 results underscore the group’s position as a leading force in Latin American retail, with a 9.2% increase in sales and a remarkable tripling of profits compared to the previous year. The fashion segment, spanning both retail stores and shopping centers, remains the primary growth driver, propelling the company’s turnover to 6.3 trillion pesos (USD 6.532 billion) and earnings to 556.28 billion pesos (USD 576.4 million). This robust performance is attributed to Falabella’s multi-specialist strategy, which integrates physical stores, e-commerce, and a diverse retail mix, enabling the company to adapt to shifting consumer preferences and market conditions. Notably, Peru and Chile delivered double-digit sales growth, while Colombia faced a modest decline, reflecting the importance of local market adaptation. The expansion and optimization of shopping centers, particularly through Plaza S.A., have further reinforced Falabella’s competitive edge, with specialty retail and digital integration playing a crucial role in sustaining momentum. These results highlight how a balanced approach to traditional and digital retail, coupled with strategic real estate investments, continues to drive Falabella’s regional success.
IADS Notes: Falabella’s 2025 performance builds on a series of strategic initiatives across Latin America, including a multi-format approach and significant investments in store openings, shopping center transformations, and logistics optimization. Peru’s contribution of 28% to regional revenue and Mallplaza’s 215% specialty retail growth exemplify the group’s ability to leverage both physical and digital channels. The company’s expansion in Colombia, supported by a major distribution center, and its customer-centric strategy have been pivotal in maintaining market leadership and driving sustainable growth, as documented in reports from February, March, May, and June 2025.
