According to independent consultancy Deloitte's 2021 sector report, Suwen ranked as Turkey's fastest-growing women's lingerie retail brand based on store expansion.

As of March 31, 2025, Suwen operates 181 stores across 50 provinces in Turkey, consistently enhancing its brand accessibility. Since entering international markets rapidly in 2022, Suwen expanded globally, opening 2 stores in Cyprus, 7 in Romania, along with 10 international dealerships, reaching a total of 200 stores during 2025.
