Swedish clothing company Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) has revealed plans to enter the Brazilian market in 2025.

The company will launch its stores and online in the country.

H&M will initially enter major cities in south-east Brazil and plans to expand its presence across the country over time.

H&M Group CEO Helena Helmersson said: “We are thrilled to announce that we are opening our first store and online in Brazil in 2025. We have had good development in Latin America and see great potential in Brazil.

“This is a very exciting step, and we look forward to bringing H&M’s concept of fashion, quality and sustainability at the best price to many customers in the country.”

Brazil, which has a population of more than 210 million, offers strong potential for expansion, according to H&M.
