El 85% de las pymes en España tienen menos de diez empleados

Spain’s Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are predominantly micro-businesses, with over half operating without any salaried employees. This structural reality highlights that the majority of the industrial fabric is composed of very small entities, where solo entrepreneurs form the largest segment. Only a tiny fraction of companies fall into the medium or large categories, underscoring a market dominated by minimal-scale operations rather than substantial corporate structures. Sectoral performance reveals a divergence, as the construction and services sectors have experienced modest growth in the number of businesses. In contrast, industry and agriculture have suffered losses, indicating economic strain in traditional production sectors. This shift suggests that the service economy continues to expand its share of the business landscape, while industrial activities face contraction, reflecting broader economic trends favoring intangible services over manufacturing. Employment creation, however, remains concentrated in larger firms, which generate the largest share of new jobs despite their numerical scarcity. Micro and small enterprises contribute significantly to employment but less proportionally than their count might suggest. This dynamic is crucial for open data because transparent, accessible statistics on business size and job creation allow researchers and policymakers to accurately model economic health, assess labor market efficiency, and design targeted support policies for the vast majority of non-salaried entrepreneurs.
