MANGO primary target market is mainly women aged 20-35 years old. Young, urban women, career driven, love fashion and want to wear the latest fashion trends. Ethnicity doesn’t make a big difference since company now has its stores in over 100 countries and it is still growing. The company believes that 30% of the passersby are actually within their target market. MANGO’s secondary target market for sub-brand H.E. is young men who care about fashion trends.

Of course the stylists are inspired by fashion shows but they have to design more than 70% of basic clothes and around 30% of "fashion" products. Prices remain affordable even though they are higher than Zara. MANGO's goal consists in proposing clothes for everything. That is the reason why the brand opened different lines: casual sport, suit and jeans.
