Cross-border comparison

H&M either side of the border .

Two networks of incomparable size only compare at equal population. Brought back to 100,000 inhabitants, the counts become readable side by side — and the gap points either to room for development or to saturation.

Reading the figures

The 92 stores are a record drawn from Foursquare Open Places, not a count published by the brand — this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish.

The reach indicators — coverage, index by canton — are robust to that bias: they measure a distance and a population, which a location described twice does not move. Recorded .

Frequently asked questions about H&M in Switzerland

Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur nos solutions.

How many stores does H&M have in Switzerland?

The record of 23 August 2026 identifies 92 H&M stores in Switzerland, across 21 cantons. This is a record, not an official count: this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish. The figure serves to compare networks rather than to count stores.

What share of Switzerland does H&M reach?

52.1 % of the population lives within 5 kilometres of a H&M, and 77.5 % within 10 kilometres. Coverage counts each population cell once, however many locations reach it, which makes it insensitive to the double-counting that affects raw location totals.

Is H&M denser in Switzerland or in France?

Per 100,000 inhabitants, H&M has 1.03 stores in Switzerland against 0.33 in France — a density 210 % higher. Both records come from the same source and the same method, which is the condition for the gap to mean anything.
