A business-focused view of digital market share, company base, talent and foreign investment.
Key points
- Market scale
- Foreign investment and infrastructure
- A practical entry check
1. Market scale
ICEX / Invest in Spain reports that the digital economy represents around €414 billion, or 26% of Spanish GDP. More than 38,000 ICT companies generated around €150 billion in 2025 turnover.
- About 764,000 ICT professionals
- Strong Madrid and Catalonia ecosystems
2. Foreign investment and infrastructure
The official sector profile estimates about €4 billion of FDI in 2025, equal to 12.3% of national FDI. Connectivity and data infrastructure support cloud, cybersecurity, AI and B2B software opportunities.
- Near-universal high-speed coverage
- International infrastructure projects
3. A practical entry check
A large market does not guarantee demand. Buying cycles, language, data protection, sector rules and local sales channels should be tested before expansion.
- Narrow the first customer segment
- Use pilots and channel partners
