More woe in Spain after April blip

18/07/2013
April 2013 appears to have been a blip for Spain’s textile and apparel industry.

Figures showed the value of textile and garment production for the month was up by 7.2% compared to April 2012. It was the first month in many to show a year-on-year increase and the news was welcomed by industry leaders in Spain, which is still firmly in the grip of economic crisis.

However, May’s figures showed a downturn again, a fall in the value of clothing and textiles produced by Spanish firms of 3.5% compared to May 2012.
