Publicaciones: Asociación Española de Empresas Productoras y Desarrolladoras de Videojuegos

The Asociación Española de Empresas Productoras y Desarrolladoras de Videojuegos (DEV) publishes a series of white papers and reports that map the Spanish and Catalan video‑game sectors. The flagship documents are the Libro Blanco del Desarrollo Español de Videojuegos and the Libro Blanco de la Industria Catalana del Videojuego, released annually since 2016. Each edition compiles data from exhaustive surveys of Spanish development studios conducted in the corresponding year, providing a comprehensive view of market size, employment, investment flows and product trends. The reports highlight that Spain remains a leading European hub for interactive entertainment, with significant growth in indie studios and cross‑border collaborations. Key statistics include the number of active developers, average team size, revenue distribution across genres, and the proportion of projects funded through public incentives. The Catalan white paper adds a regional lens, detailing local ecosystem composition and professional profiles.

Additional publications cover fiscal incentives’ impact on investment and job creation, a focused study of the Valencian and Andalusian markets, and an industry snapshot titled #GameDevEs that profiles professional demographics. Methodologically, each white paper relies on a structured questionnaire distributed to all registered studios, achieving response rates above 70% and ensuring representativeness across size segments. The data sources combine primary survey responses with secondary information from public registries and industry bodies.

These documents serve as strategic tools for policymakers, investors, and developers, offering evidence‑based insights into sector dynamics from 2022 through 2024. They underscore the importance of supportive fiscal frameworks, talent development, and regional collaboration in sustaining Spain’s competitive edge in global video‑game production.
