Export from Spain
Spain's capitalist mixed economy is the 16th largest worldwide and the 6th largest in the European Union, as well as the Eurozone's 4th largest.
Since the 1990s some Spanish companies have gained multinational status, often expanding their activities in culturally close Latin America. Spain is the second biggest foreign investor there, after the United States. Spanish companies have also expanded into Asia, especially China and India. This early global expansion is a competitive advantage over its competitors and European neighbors. The reason for this early expansion is the booming interest toward Spanish language and culture in Asia and Africa and a corporate culture that learned to take risks in unstable markets.
Spain exports primarily manufactured products. Spain's exports of semi-finished goods, ships, cars, pharmaceuticals and electronic devices account for over 50 percent of Spain total exports. Spain is also the world's third largest exporter of wine and fruits and vegetables. The European Union accounts for 70 percent of exports of Spain.
Main export partners of Spain are France, China, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Portugal and United States.
