Hiring in the logistics sector in Aragon remained stagnant in 2025, with 31,646 contracts, the same figure as the previous year, contrasting with the growth recorded at the national level. According to a report by Randstad, this evolution places the community behind other regions in a context marked by the transformation of logistics employment, the demand for new professional profiles, and challenges such as the masculinization of the sector and absenteeism.
Hiring in the logistics sector in Aragon remained stable during 2025, with a total of 31,646 contracts, identical to the previous year. This stagnation contrasts with the 6.4% growth recorded nationally, highlighting the divergence between the region and the rest of Spain.
Uneven provincial performance in Aragon
The provincial analysis reveals a disparate behavior in logistics hiring. Zaragoza experienced a slight increase of 0.9%, accounting for 89.5% of the region’s contracts, which amounts to 28,346 contracts. In contrast, Teruel and Huesca faced significant declines of 11.4% and 5%, respectively, reflecting a heterogeneous dynamic within Aragon.
Aragon lagging in the national context
Compared to other autonomous communities, Aragon ranked among the regions with the lowest growth in logistics hiring. The Community of Madrid led the increase with 17.6%, followed by the Community of Valencia with 13.1%, Catalonia, and Castilla-La Mancha with 9% each. In absolute terms, Madrid topped the list with 197,665 contracts, followed by Catalonia and Andalusia.
Transformation and profile of logistics employment
Nationally, the logistics sector showed progress with 980,586 new contracts in 2025, compared to 921,899 the previous year, employing 1.3 million people, which represents 5.8% of total employment in Spain. However, the sector remains predominantly male, with 77% of men. Additionally, it faces a high absenteeism rate of 8%, attributed to physical demands and challenges in work-life balance.
The evolution of the sector has driven a transformation in the required professional profile. Although operational tasks remain fundamental, the industry increasingly seeks specialists in supply chain management and advanced technological skills, such as autonomous and electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. These changes respond to the need to optimize costs and reduce the carbon footprint.
