What believers are saying

  • Kiabi launched activewear in February 2026, extending share of wallet beyond basics.
  • Spain and Portugal are targeted for 7-10 yearly openings, supporting steady growth.
  • Sixty-three Spanish stores in 2023 and 74 by late 2025 show durable Iberian demand.

What critics are saying

  • Kiabi’s workforce fell 10.2% to 9,765 by March 2026, signaling operating pressure.
  • Marketplace third-party sellers handle shipping and complaints, risking customer-service failures and brand damage.
  • If Spain and Italy marketplace rollouts underperform, Kiabi loses margin to Amazon and Shein.
