Implementing a 20% corporate tax credit for developers is projected to grow Spain’s video game sector turnover from €1.435 billion in 2022 to €5.5 billion by 2028, representing a 27% compound annual growth rate.
The proposed fiscal incentives are expected to increase full-time employment in the industry from under 10,000 jobs to more than 23,000 by 2030.
The tax regime is forecast to be net-positive for the Treasury, generating €1.9 billion in direct contributions plus an additional €1.0 billion through reinvestment and consumer spending.
The Spanish market is highly concentrated, with the top ten companies accounting for approximately 95% of total industry revenue.
Development costs vary significantly by platform, averaging €419k for consoles, €338k for PC, and €94k for mobile.
Studios face substantial financing pressure, with break-even periods for projects ranging between 8.6 and 15.5 months.
The current Spanish ecosystem consists of 760 active studios, of which 445 are incorporated, alongside 71 publishers.
