Bata Bangladesh, one of the country’s leading footwear brands, has reported a 20% year-on-year sales growth for the third quarter of 2025 (July–September), supported by continued consumer demand and an expanding product portfolio. The strong turnover reflects the brand’s resilience and relevance in a competitive retail environment.
Despite this solid sales performance, Bata’s profit margins came under pressure due to rising raw material prices, higher production costs, and an unfavourable sales mix. The company noted that the impact of global commodity inflation and reduced consumer affordability in the discretionary footwear segment affected overall profitability.

Commenting on the quarterly performance, Mr. Debabrata Mukherjee, Managing Director of Bata Bangladesh, said, “Our consistent growth reflects the enduring trust of Bangladeshi consumers in Bata’s promise of quality and comfort. While macroeconomic factors have posed challenges, we remain committed to delivering stylish, affordable, and innovative footwear that brings delight to consumers across every touchpoint.”
