Primark claims the low-cost throne in the lowest hours of Shein and Temu

Primark has been operating in Spain for 20 years, entering the market with a clear strategy to compete in the textile industry by offering low prices while building a trustworthy brand. Over time, it expanded significantly, managing over 240,000 square meters of retail space across 67 stores. However, Chinese-based online retailers Shein and Temu emerged as strong competitors, offering ultra-low-cost clothing designed for disposable use. These companies now challenge Primark's dominance in the low-cost segment, though they are currently facing difficult times.
