Baleares is the Spanish region where people spend less money on clothes 

BALEARES is the Spanish region where less money is spent on clothes, according to textile business association ACOTEX. 

The study displays that on average, residents in the islands spend €215 a year on clothing items. 

This is around 28% less than in the rest of Spain, where the yearly average expenditure per person is almost €300. 

These figures correspond to last year, a period during which the sale of clothing, footwear and accessories in Spain was almost 20% higher than in 2021. 

However, the numbers are still much lower than prior to the pandemic.

In 2019, people in Spain spent over 40% more money on clothes than in 2022. 

Sales in the textile sector from January to May in 2023 increased by 3.8% compared to the same period last year. 

However, in May, they experienced a decline of 5.7%. 

ACOTEX President, Eduardo Zamacola, believes this situation is a ‘sign of alarm’.
