- Compared with 2024, the operator delivered an additional 1.3 million copies, representing 3.6% growth.
- Following the recent FGEE report confirming the consolidation of reading habits in Spain, the company has increased its deliveries and strengthened catalogue availability.
Logista Libros, a leading distributor for the publishing sector, closed 2025 with sustained growth in its activity and an increase in its operational capacity, in line with the evolution of the book market in Spain. This performance comes in a context of consolidating reading habits, as reflected in the recent Barometer of Reading and Book Purchasing Habits in Spain 2025, published by the Federation of Publishers’ Guilds of Spain (FGEE) in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture. This study shows that 69.8% of the population reads books at least quarterly, and 54.1% purchased books (non‑textbooks) over the last 12 months.
In 2025, Logista Libros increased by 4% the total volume of copies delivered across all its business lines, a figure that rises to more than 11% in the general editions segment that is maintained continuously. Both traditional physical distribution and the e‑commerce channel recorded solid growth last year. However, although e‑commerce continues to gain relevance, conventional distribution remains the majority channel for Logista Libros. In addition, the number of shipments (logistics deliveries) also grew by more than 3% compared to the previous year.
Greater availability
The company strengthened the availability of its catalogue throughout the year, closing 2025 with more than 330,000 references in stock, representing 6.4% growth.
The evolution was especially significant in the e‑commerce channel, which has transformed the way we purchase products and services, enabling fast and secure transactions from anywhere. This trend reflects the shift towards an increasingly multichannel purchasing environment, in line with the patterns highlighted by the FGEE and the Ministry of Culture.
Returns, by channel
Finally, returns showed different behaviours depending on the channel. In the bookstore channel, the number of returned copies increased, while returns in the e‑commerce channel and centralised chains fell by 12.0%, reflecting differentiated purchasing dynamics.
Daniel Oropesa, General Manager of Logista Libros, stated: “This growth in reading habits is great news for the entire sector. At Logista Libros, we work every day to adapt to new consumption models and offer solutions that bring value to publishers, bookstores and online platforms. Our commitment is to continue leading editorial distribution with innovation, efficiency and proximity.”
