%X Nowadays, innovation is a concept of vital importance in society, not only because of what
 we understand theoretically, but also because of what innovation means at a business
 level. Companies seek to move forward, to modernise, and to do so they use innovation.
 The main purpose of this work will be to try to give an explanation of the concept of
 innovation, to study whether it is used by companies as a primary source of growth and to
 study the relationship of innovation with respect to the different factors that can
 influence innovation.
 In order to achieve the fundamental objective previously written, we will first define what
 innovation is, explaining different types of it. After this, we will carry out a review of the
 literature, where we will try to tackle different socio-economic theories and how they
 deal with innovation in each one of them, and of course a theoretical study of different
 authors who write about possible variables that may affect innovation in general and
 specifically in the textile sector. This will be followed by the empirical analysis that will
 attempt to study how product innovation is related to each of the variables mentioned in
 the literature review, this will be achieved through a descriptive analysis carried out with
 the information from the PITEC database. Finally, the conclusions that can be drawn from
 our study will be drawn.
