Exports reached €25.065 billion, virtually matching the historic record of 2023, with only a slight -0.5% variation.
This achievement is even more remarkable considering the slowdown in European demand and the ongoing technological transformation in the mobility industry.
60% of the sector’s total turnover comes from international markets. This figure shows that internationalization is not just a strategy, but a fundamental pillar for the growth and resilience of Spanish companies.

The 2024 data not only confirms the sector’s competitiveness but also its ability to adapt to the demands of very different markets, from the EU to Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
Spain has established itself as one of the most attractive countries for investing in the automotive sector. This is confirmed by the report “Reasons to invest in Spain,” prepared by Deloitte for SERNAUTO, which analyzes the factors that strengthen Spain’s position as a key hub for the new mobility ecosystem.
