Spain, located in Southwest Europe, occupies 85% of the Iberian Peninsula. Spain is the fourth-largest economy in the Eurozone, is the 14th-largest economy in the world, and has one of the strongest domestic markets in Europe. Many U.S. businesses are drawn to Spain because of the two countries’ close bilateral relations. Spain offers businesses the opportunity to grow their global sales, with Spain’s industrial sector attracting many U.S. companies involved in automobiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, industrial machinery, etc, due to the industry's success. Are you interested in learning more about the global market opportunities in Spain?
