Economic sectors

🏭 Economic sectors

What the Spanish economy produces and who produces it. Each sector's value added is measured in constant 2025 euros, and employment as people in work per 1,000 inhabitants, so that it does not grow merely because there are more people.

Snapshot of 2025

Each sector's share of output and of employment. Where its share of output exceeds its share of employment, each worker generates more value (in real estate mainly because of rents, including those imputed to people who live in their own home).

Manufacturing (Manufacturas) is part of Industry and energy (Industria y energía), which is why it is not added separately in the charts.

Real growth by sector

Value added of each major sector in constant euros, with 2008 = 100. Construction has still not recovered the level it had before the property bubble burst.

Employment by sector

People employed in each sector per 1,000 inhabitants; stacked, they give the total employed per 1,000 inhabitants. In 2025 there were 460, compared with 471 in 2007.

Productivity

Real value added per person employed across the whole economy, in 2025 euros.
