From the company's own filing for Full year to Dec 2025 · reported 2026-02-17 · the filing

JapanJapan made up 27.4% of OTB's total business in 2025; the CEO called the market stable and still performing positively for the group despite a 'complex national economic situation'.
Not disclosedOTB gives Japan's share of business but no Japan sales growth figure, and it does not call Japan its largest market.
JapanOTB placed its Korean business under the coordination of its Japan operation, aiming to carry practices built in Japan into what it calls a high-potential Korean market.
StoresJil Sander opened new stores in Japan (and China) during 2025, and OTB's Staff International renewed its Japan distribution agreement for Amiri for five more years.

Other callouts in the filing

SegmentWholesale fell 14.7% while retail held nearly stable (−2.6%); direct channels now make up 60% of turnover, across 600 directly operated stores after 49 openings and 58 closures.
BasisOTB is privately held, so this is a voluntary press release rather than a listed-company filing; growth is stated at constant exchange rates, and the group cites 'adverse currency trends'.

The private group behind Diesel, Maison Margiela and Marni reported 2025 turnover of €1.7bn, down about 5% in a slowing luxury market, with EBITDA of €0.2bn (a 15% margin). Japan was a bright spot — the group cites its 'resilience' and puts it at 27% of total business — and it has just put its Korea operation under Japanese coordination.
