Textile articles market in Spain: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Spain awarded 197 supply contracts for textile articles through award notices on TED; the 173 of them that state a value (87.8%) add up to €27.3 million. Spain imported €1.8 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to textile articles in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 6302, 6307, 5703, 6306, 5911 and 12 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 9.2% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 263 companies have won 529 public supply contracts for textile articles in Spain, in 284 award notices from 152 public buyers.
  • 97.5% of these awards went to companies registered in Spain; the most frequent foreign origin is Portugal.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 16.1% of all awards.
  • 24.2% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Spain — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €192 billion in 2025, 11.3% of GDP (Eurostat). Award notices on TED cover only the contracts above the EU thresholds, so they show who wins, not the whole of that spending.
