INFORMA's DBK Sectoral Observatory recently published these insights in the 'Logistic Services' Sectoral Report.
Madrid, 23 April 2026.- According to INFORMA's (Cesce's subsidiary) DBK Sectoral Observatory—a leading provider of business, financial, sectoral, and marketing information in Spain and Portugal—turnover by logistic services operators in Spain, including revenue from goods warehousing and the associated operations performed on stored goods (handling, transport and distribution) and excluding services not linked to these warehousing operations, reached €7.1 billion in 2025, representing a 4.4% increase year-over-year.
The market therefore extended its growth trend, albeit with a slowdown compared with the pace recorded in previous years, in a context marked by weaker momentum in e-commerce and more moderate growth in logistics services prices.
Revenue from warehousing and in-warehouse operations performed more favourably, rising 5.1% to €3.575 billion, now contributing slightly over half of the market's total value. Meanwhile, transport and distribution increased 3.7%, reaching €3.525 billion.
From a demand perspective, the food and drinks sector remained the main source of business for logistic services operators, accounting for slightly over 40% of the market. Other non-food sectors, such as electronic components, perfumery and cosmetics, or book publishing, also posted positive performance.
The number of companies in the sector stood at around 235, with employment reaching 44,000 workers. These figures reflected a slight increase from the previous year, driven mainly by the creation of small companies specialising in last-mile services.
The sector showed a significant degree of concentration, with the five leading companies holding 40% of the market in 2025, while the combined market share of the top ten operators was close to 60%. The trend towards gradual consolidation of supply therefore continued.
