The automobile industry is one of the manufacturing branches with a greater presence on a global scale and, therefore, one of the activities that has most intensely suffered from the international crisis in Spain. Despite this fact, the great dynamism of the sector has made possible its rapid recovery.
Within the specialized bibliography, several authors highlight the considerable backwardness of Spain in the take-off and consolidation of this industry. However, over time, the country has been gaining positions until becoming, at present, the ninth producer of vehicles on a global scale and the second at European level, according to the data of the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA). At the regional level, the development of this industry has been uneven, given that the car and components manufacturers didn’t establish themselves in the national territory at the same time, resulting in a geographical distribution and a spatial influence quite heterogeneous.
