According to a study on the economic impact of the nautical sector in the metropolitan area of Barcelona by the Bureau of Economic Research & Infrastructures of the Chamber of Commerce of Barcelona, the 305 companies in this area linked to the nautical sector have a total of 2,115 employees and a turnover of € 465 million. If we consider the direct, indirect and induced impact, these figures represent activity worth € 836 million and around 8,300 jobs.

For the first time, the report studied the overall economic impact of the nautical sector in terms of production and employment in Barcelona's economy as a whole. The study also analyses the activity of the Barcelona Nautical Cluster's member companies and identifies the planned investments and the impact to be generated in other activities.

It is expected that the next three years will see investments worth € 89 million, representing an impact on aggregate production in the metropolitan area of € 210 million and helping to create 525 direct and indirect jobs, a figure that could rise to 1,586 if the total impact is taken into consideration.
