The Uruguayan textile industry started in the early XXth century based on the production of woven fabric and wool spinning mill (tops). From the years of the 1929’s crisis onwards, it went through a great expan-sion due to a protectionist policy based on favourable exchange rates. Those were the times of the Import Substitutive Industrialization (ISI) in the country. After the Second World War and, particularly, during the fifties it reached its height with the production of cotton fabrics and synthetic fibers. Meanwhile, wool ex-ports would grow strongly. However, in the late fifties, the ISI strategy was in trouble and the obstacles for export’s growth and the economic stagnation together with the removal of the protectionist’s policies put an end to the textile industry development. As a consequence, it experienced a deep crisis and lost impor-tance both for the industry and for the economy as a whole. En la historia de la industria textil uruguaya se destacan dos características; la concentración y centraliza-ción de sus capitales y la importante participación de capitales provenientes de Argentina. La industria textil uruguaya se inició a comienzos del siglo XX con la instalación de algunas fábricas de tejidos de lana y de una gran hilandería de lana peinada. Desde la crisis de 1929, sustentada en la protección cambiaria, se expandió en forma acelerada durante el período conocido como de industrialización por sus-titución de importaciones. Alcanzó su apogeo entre fines de Segunda Guerra Mundial y comienzos de la década cincuenta, instalando hilanderías de algodón y de fibras sintéticas y alcanzando las exportaciones laneras una importante dimensión. El progresivo agotamiento de la sustitución de importaciones, los frenos opuestos a las exportaciones, junto al estancamiento económico del país y el desmontaje de la protección estatal, la sumieron en una profunda crisis y en la pérdida creciente de participación en la industria y en la economía uruguaya.  application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/441 spa Centro de Estudios de Historia Económica Argentina y Latinoamericana (CEHEAL) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/441/812 H-industria.
