Textile-reinforced hoses without fittings market in Spain

Earlier Report Observations

The market for textile-reinforced hoses without fittings in Spain experienced a severe contraction from 2018 to 2022, with its value dropping by over 55% from $173.0 million to $77.7 million. This decline coincided with strategic moves in adjacent pipe and hose segments. In 2019, AMIBLU PIPES SPAIN reported increased sales driven by export activity for its fiber-reinforced polyester pipes, signaling competitive pressure and a potential shift in industry focus. The following year, MCH PRIVATE EQUITY acquired a majority stake in PVC pipe leader MOLECOR, which expanded production capacity and began manufacturing large-diameter PVC-O pipes. This investment bolstered the supply of alternative piping products, likely drawing demand away from traditional textile-reinforced hoses and contributing to the market's shrinkage.

After reaching a low in 2022, the market stabilized and began a moderate recovery, rising to $80.8 million in 2023 and further to $88.2 million in 2024. This upturn was supported by a rebound in domestic production, which increased from $75.6 million to $85.9 million over the two-year period. While import values continued their steady decline, falling from $55.4 million to $51.7 million, the overall market volume regained some ground as local manufacturing absorbed part of the demand.
