April brought a wave of new business activity to the Axarquia region, with 50 new companies officially registered.
The figures, released by the Andalusian Institute of Statistics and Cartography (IECA), place Axarquia among the top areas in the region for business creation.
The growth reflects a noticeable increase in local entrepreneurial spirit, with clear benefits for employment and the wider economy in the area.
In the ranking of new company formations across Andalusia, Axarquia now holds fourth place — just behind the Costa del Sol (243), Poniente Almeriense (76), and Campiña-Sierra Sur in Seville (53). It’s also ahead of some provincial capitals like Jaen (23) and Huelva (38), showing the region’s growing weight in the business landscape beyond major cities.
Among the newly registered companies, hospitality leads the way with 12 new establishments. The retail and repair sector is close behind with 10, followed by construction (5), industry and energy (3), transport and logistics (3), and finance and insurance (3).
This data shows that Axarquia is not only attracting new business, but also diversifying economically. Velez-Malaga, as the region’s biggest city, continues to play a key role in this ‘boom’.
With more entrepreneurs investing in the area and a range of industries taking shape, Axarquia has the potential to become a key player in Andalusia’s economic future.
