Asos is excpected to report a 45 per cent rise in sales tomorrow as 'outstanding' UK sales and as international sales surged.
Third quarter sales at the internet retailer increased as shoppers stayed in their homes to avoid freezing weather in the UK, which has had the coldest spring for 50 years. It has also seen huge growth in overseas sales which now double those in its home market.
Stockbroker Panmure Gordon estimated that international sales accounted for £130 million in the period compared to £65 million in the UK. It said UK sales have grown by 40 per cent but sales in Europe and the US have grown even faster.
John Stevenson at Peel Hunt said: 'The UK performance remains outstanding and other countries are driving local performance in the US, France and Germany.'
Analysts believe the headline-grabbing agreement to sell Primark clothes on Asos will drive traffic to the site.
