Catalan Technology Sector Hits Record €30.6 billion Turnover

The technology industry in Catalonia has reached a historic milestone, with the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector recording a total turnover exceeding €30.6 billion in 2025. This figure, confirmed by the latest annual barometer published by the Cercle Tecnològic de Catalunya, represents a 13% increase over the previous year’s performance, signaling a period of sustained economic expansion for the region.

Sustained Growth and Economic Impact

According to the 18th edition of the Cercle Tecnològic de Catalunya report, the ICT sector has established itself as a central pillar of the Catalan economy. The €30.6 billion generated in 2025 follows a 2024 fiscal period that had already set a previous record of over €28 billion. This upward trajectory reflects a consistent decade of growth for local technology firms, which have increasingly accounted for a larger share of the region’s total economic output.

The sector’s contribution to the regional Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reached 9,1% in 2025. This marks a notable rise of half a percentage point compared to the previous year, highlighting the growing influence of digital infrastructure and software services within the broader industrial framework of the Principat.
