Read Spanish market development of shoes and apparel industry

In Spain's traditional industrial sector, the most important is the textile and apparel industry. Spain’s clothing industry ranks fifth in the EU, and its footwear industry ranks third in terms of 6% of world exports, second only to China and Italy. In recent years, Spain's textile and clothing industry has gradually slowed down. At present, Spain's textile and garment industry has shifted from labor-intensive to capital-intensive. The proportion of labor costs in product costs has fallen, and the proportion of capital operations has risen. It has already had a strong market competitiveness.

Spain's clothing industry and footwear industry are mainly based on small and medium-sized enterprises. These enterprises have an average of 34 employees, and only 0.4% of companies have a scale of more than 500 people. This scale structure ensures that companies have considerable room for production flexibility and can respond quickly to increasingly demanding trade needs. Spanish apparel and footwear manufacturers and sellers have taken a significant position in the international retail and franchise industry alliance. At present, apparel and footwear companies in Spain mainly use independent businesses, retailers' "shops" or "chain stores" to sell their products. Some Spanish brands have succeeded in attracting the fashion media and consumers' interest in "Spanish-produced" fashion, such as INDITEX and its brands Zara, Pull & Bear, Massimo Dutti, Stradivarius, Bershka; Mango and MNG of Punto Fa; Cortefiel and Its brands Springfield; Induyco and its brands Sintesis, C2C and Tintoretto, and Caramelo, AdollO Dominguez, Mayoral and other companies. The footwear brands include amper, PanamdJack, MartinezValero and Farrutx.
