Björn Borg AB has owned the former external distributor in the Benelux since January 2017. The acquisition of the Benelux business was an important step in accelerating the vertical integration of Björn Borg’s business and was in line with the strategy to get closer to consumers and retailers in Björn Borg’s main markets.

In 2024, the Netherlands was the second largest market for the Björn Borg brand, accounting for 23 percent of total sales. Operations in the country started in 1993, and the brand quickly established a position in the Dutch market with growing volumes and a wide presence.

Björn Borg products are sold today through approximately 582 retailers and four Björn Borg stores. Products in all product areas are available for sale on the Dutch market. Sales in the Netherlands increased during the year by 11 percent.

Björn Borg was established in England in 2006 through a launch at the Selfridges department store in London. In 2011, Björn Borg started its own operations together with a local partner after collaboration with the previous distributor was terminated.

Distribution has since been broadened to include several other well-known retailers such as Harrods, John Lewis, and House of Fraser, while more categories have been added, such as sports apparel. In addition to external retailers, Björn Borg had its own factory outlet in England until September 2020, after which the store was closed.

Since 2021, the English operations are no longer an integrated part of the Björn Borg Group but are run by an external distributor. Sales in England showed an increase in 2024 of 27 percent and accounted for 2 percent of total sales.
Rest of the world
Sales decreased in many other smaller markets, and total sales decreased by 2 percent. Björn Borg has chosen to focus its efforts more on those markets it considers to be its key markets, i.e., Northern Europe.
Core strategy shift
Market expansion and growth
In 2023, Björn Borg strategically targeted growth in Northern Europe, successfully expanding our reach. Our approach combines a deep understanding of local market dynamics with a global strategy that adapts to regional needs.
Challenges and opportunities
While our presence in Sweden and the Netherlands has grown sharply, we faced challenges in markets like Germany, Finland, Belgium, and Norway, where sales have decreased. We’re actively working on strategies to rejuvenate our approach in these areas and capture new opportunities
