The order book of the naval sector in Spain for 2021 amounts to 51 ships, with a total value of 2,000 million euros, according to data from the Pymar society, which brings together small and medium-sized private shipyards in Spain. Asturias leads this extraordinary balance. The competitiveness and specialization of the Asturian shipyards, as well as their commitment to innovation, have enabled them to overcome the crisis and win contracts that guarantee their viability in the medium term.

The construction sector, in spite of the health crisis which forced to paralyze many constructions, the number of construction works continued to grow in the Principality of Asturias at a rate of 16.5%, above the whole of Spain, which rose to 5.7% in the last twelve months.

Together with these sectors, numerous companies manufacturing auxiliary construction and naval products are located in our region.
