The sector has drastically cut its exports to the United States over the past two months. In April and May, exports <strong>fell by 19% year-on-year<\/strong>, compared to a 4.8% decline across the European Union. In this context, Spain is one of the most heavily penalised countries within the EU bloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This downturn follows the Trump administration\u2019s reactivation of its<a href=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/en\/trump-raises-tariffs-and-shein-and-temu-prices-soar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> tariff policy <\/a>with a new offensive after Liberation Day. In 2024, <strong>the US was one of the main growth markets for Spanish fashion<\/strong>, with an increase of 7.4%. Today, this market has become one of the sector\u2019s biggest sources of losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This loss of weight is also reflected in total export volumes. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/datacomex.comercio.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Datacomex<\/a> data, EU fashion sales to the US reached <strong>\u20ac934 million<\/strong> in May. Only 4.1% of that came from Spanish products. In 2024, Spain\u2019s share was 4.6%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Footwear is the most affected segment<\/strong>. In May, exports of footwear to the US plummeted by 30.9%, well above the decline seen in textiles and apparel. This trend had already been apparent since April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commercial blow highlights the sector\u2019s vulnerability to political decisions beyond the market. In the short term, there is limited room for manoeuvre, but dependence on the US market is once again called into question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spain suffers the greatest impact in European fashion due to US tariffs, with a 19% drop in exports compared to the EU\u2019s 4.8% decline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":324578,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[603],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-522069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin  -
