The crisis-hit textile industry in Spain has once again started showing signs of revival. The country’s textile industry is coming out of recession, and the credit for this goes to the success of Inditex’s “fast-fashion” brands. The success of Mango and Desigual have also played vital role in revival of Spain’s textile industry. Clothing and textiles account for nearly 3 per cent of the country’s gross domestic product.

Economic rebound in Spain has also become beneficial for the textile industry. Spain’s textile exports, which account for 60 per cent of sector-wide sales, rose by seven per cent last year. The focus on international sales adopted by major fashion retailers has also pushed smaller firms to modernize and shift their focus to activities with higher added value.
Companies have also diversified away from fabrics destined only for fashion and now also make technical fabrics for the automobile, agriculture or sports sectors.
