ASOS Revenue and Usage Statistics (2023)

David Curry

Updated: November 15, 2023

Originally an online marketplace for things seen on television, hence the name ‘AsSeenOnScreen’, ASOS transitioned in the mid-2000s to an online retailer selling all types of apparel. It was one of several online-only retailers to launch in the 2000s, which aimed to reduce costs by not having any physical presence.

In 2010, ASOS expanded outside of the UK to several European markets. It also launched Marketplace, which has grown into one of the largest streetwear and vintage marketplaces in the UK.

Even with the European and North American expansion, 42 percent of ASOS sales in 2021 came from the UK. It is one of the ten largest clothing retailers in the country, and has expanded rapidly following the acquisition of Arcadia Group, which owned the Topman, Topshop and Miss Selfridges brands.

ASOS has went through many different stages of online fashion marketing. In the early 2010s, ASOS said that 10 percent of its sales could be directly attributed to email marketing, this has switched to social platforms in the mid-2010s, with ASOS investing heavily into Instagram and TikTok.

Most of the company’s sales are now done through the app, and it was one of the first major retailers in the UK to offer buy now, pay later services for customers.
