Bata Bangladesh, a leading footwear brand, reported year-on-year turnover growth of 15% in the third quarter of 2026 (July–September), with YTD growth 11%, reflecting the resilience of its core business amid challenging global and domestic economic conditions.

The company remains focused on sustaining its business momentum through new product introductions, expansion into new retail locations, retail transformation and stronger omnichannel integration.
Bata is also strengthening its digital and e-commerce platforms to make shopping more convenient and accessible for customers nationwide.
Ongoing initiatives to improve cost efficiency and optimize sourcing are expected to support further gains in profitability by the end of 2026.
Commenting on the results, Faria Yasmin, managing director of Bata Bangladesh, said: “Despite global geopolitical tensions and persistent inflationary pressures, Bata Bangladesh has maintained its business momentum and delivered encouraging turnover growth till Q3. Our continued focus on expanding our retail presence, introducing new products that combine comfort and style, and engaging younger and fashion-conscious consumers remains central to our growth strategy. We are also committed to enhancing the customer experience through our digital platforms and omnichannel initiatives.”
