Spain Retail: all hopes are pinned on the final quarter
The Spanish fashion retail sector is experiencing contradictory cycles. Sales for physical textile and footwear retailers plummeted by 1.8% in the first eight months of 2025, exacerbated by an unusual deflationary environment. E-commerce retail, however, seems to be in a league of its own. Despite negative trends, retailers appear to be betting on a recovery, as evidenced by a 5.4% surge in fashion imports up to August, as well as an unusual peak in shoe imports in July. This suggests that retailers are now focusing on the final quarter of the year, hoping for a return of consumer spending at key events such as Black Friday and Christmas
