Prada’s sales in Asia-Pacific rose 22% as COVID restrictions across the region loosened. Europe experienced a 28% increase in sales, while Japan was up 55%. As the luxury market in the U.S. endures a “period of stabilization,” according to Prada Group CEO Andrea Guerra, Prada’s numbers increased by just 5% in the country.
“Prada Group has had a positive start to the year,” said Guerra. “Over the course of the first quarter, China returned to be an engine of growth, driving a solid sales rebound in Asia Pacific. Our priority for the year remains increasing store productivity, focusing on retail execution. Meanwhile, we will continue to invest behind our brands, our stores, and our infrastructure for the growth of tomorrow. The ever-evolving macro and market backdrop requires us to be vigilant, but we see benefits in accelerating these investments, if conditions remain supportive.”
