Almeria's Economy Soars to Historic Heights: €3.7 Billion in Exports. Implications for the Real Estate Market?

The province of Almería is making headlines with a new historic export record, surpassing €3.774 billion from January to July 2025. 

This remarkable figure signifies an 8.5% increase compared to the same period last year.

Almería's strong performance ranks it as the fourth largest exporting province in Spain and third in export growth rate.

This economic vitality is primarily driven by a robust and diverse sector:

Agrifood Powerhouse: Almería leads in the agrifood sector, with vegetables achieving an export record at €2.805 billion (6.8% increase) and fruits reaching €2.563 billion (14.1% increase). Andalusia is the global leader in olive oil exports.

Industrial Growth: The industrial and mining sectors are thriving, with significant growth in copper, copper manufacturing, mining, and iron and steel foundry.

Implications for Real Estate Investors in Almería

This record-breaking economic performance directly benefits the real estate investment market in Almería.

1. Increased Demand and Revaluation

A thriving export economy results in:

• Job Creation: Strong economic activity in key sectors (agriculture, industry) attracts domestic and foreign workers, boosting rental and residential demand.

• Capital Inflow: A strong trade surplus for Andalusia (and Almería) signifies economic health and stability, attracting national and international investors seeking safe and appreciating assets.

• Price Growth: Sustained regional economic growth drives up property values over time.

  
  

2. Emerging Investment Opportunities

The economic structure offers specific opportunities for astute investors:

• Residential Hotspots: Areas supported by the vast agricultural sector (like El Ejido or Almerimar) are attracting people seeking space, comfort, and nature, increasing demand and revaluation in these emerging areas.

• Short-Term Rentals: Almería's growth enhances its potential for tourist and seasonal rental properties, especially in attractive coastal areas, providing a steady income stream.

• High-End Demand: The region's overall wealth increase and international profile could boost demand for high-end and luxury residences.

  
  

The robust economic data confirms that Almería is a strategic market - it has evolved beyond its reputation as an exclusively agricultural area to become a strong, diversified export powerhouse, making its real estate market a sound investment choice.
