In terms of clothing, the thirty something Spanish are particularly careful about their appearance and attach great importance to their costumes. The budget for clothes is thus an important item of expenditure.
The Spanish ranked clothing sixth in their list of priorities in 2001. In the same year, the average budget of a Spanish family, devoted to clothing stood around 1650 euros per year. At the individual level, a Spanish family spent not more than 7.3% of its annual budget towards clothing.
A market study has highlighted the increasing demand for large size clothing in Spain. The results of the study have transformed the business. It appears that 60% of the adult Spanish population uses larger than size 44 that is considered the last traditional size. Among those 60%, 26% are women aged between 18 and 35.
The target of the thirties is more difficult to segment because between 25 and 40 year old consumers have broadly the same needs, different expectations and more importantly, they consume in an almost identical manner. But here an attempt is made to distinguish into two sub-segments of 25-30 years and 30-40 years.
In general, the thirty-somethings perceive themselves and are percieved as more homogeneous, the beginnig of maturity and above the age of building life, realizing the aspirations and dreams. This is the age of taking responsibilities of a family unit.
There is some difference between men and women, women being more responsible and perceive themselves with more freedom of choice.The people of this generation are comfortable with themselves despite the pressures to which they declared themselves subject: professional constraints, parental, "Running Money" for the well-being of the family at the expense of personal time.
The distribution market of ready to wear Spanish continues to flourish: increased revenue, growth in sales volumes, increasing numbers of shops. The trade dress is one of the most dynamic sectors of the Spanish economy. This success is exported it very well: Spanish fashion is now present in 150 countries through specialty chains (Zara, Mango), whose presence continues to grow in Europe and worldwide.
One can see an evolution in the consumption of clothing in Spain. The Spanish women spend on average 389 euros per year against 242 euros for men. Spaniards spend 214euros on average in children's clothing. This certifies that Spanish women spend more money than men in this clothing sector.
The Spanish market for fashion, which is one of the most competitive in Europe has not yet reached its saturation point. Even if the groups of specialized channels such as Inditex and Mango, performs more than half their turnover business abroad, they continue in effect to expand in Spain.
Today brands like Zara (Inditex Group) and Mango are symbols of Spain and abroad.The strengths are firstly due to a very strong domestic demand and secondly Spain benefits from national leaders who were doing very well, such as Mango, Zara. In addition, the country adopts a strategy that now favors the production of high quality. Nevertheless, the textile industry is in decline. Competition from Asian low-end products is also reflected in the markets of Spain.
