Bath & Body Works is a specialty home fragrance and fragrant body care retailer operating under the Bath & Body Works, C.O. Bigelow, and White Barn brands. The company generates most of its business in North America, with just 4% of sales from international markets in fiscal 2025. For fiscal 2025, 77% of sales stemmed from the brick-and-mortar network of more than 1,900 retail stores, similar to 2024 levels, as consumer shopping patterns remained normal. Future growth is expected from store upgrades, digital and international channels, as well as adjacent category expansions like lip.
“The sale of body care, home fragrance and soap and sanitizer products is a highly competitive business with numerous competitors, including individual and chain specialty stores, department stores, online retailers and discount retailers.”
