Information technology: hardware, software and IT services. Digital content: audiovisual, film, music, video, internet, educational content, digital publications, content for e-books, videogames, content for mobiles. Telecommunications industries: telecommunications equipment, systems integration and associated services. Consumer electronics: audio, cable TV, digital photographic cameras, video, magnetic supports, TV decoders. Professional electronics: instrumentation and educational equipment, defense electronics, industrial electronics, electro-medicine, radio broadcasting and television. Others: automotive electronics, maintenance and sale of electronic equipment and components, videogame consoles, etc. Spanish sector overview two Revenues generated by the total ICT sector recorded a modest increase from billion in to billion in. By subsector, the highest increase (11%) was in Other electronic activities, which includes automotive electronics, videogame consoles, and the sale and maintenance of electronic equipment and components. The digital content subsector also grew significantly, by 7%. The largest decline was in telecommunications services (-3%). 2

3 In, the ICT macro-sector generated a total of 33,918 jobs. The information technology segment made the largest contribution to this figure accounting for 194,588.

This sector returned to growth, although this was modest in terms of domestic demand with exports being much more dynamic (+11%). Total sales (domestic market plus exports) were billion, a rise of more than 3%, which was slightly higher than the average rate for EU-27 countries. Within this subsector, desktop computers, the new mobile devices (netbooks and tablets) and products associated with printing were the top performers. Information technology accounted for 1.56% of GDP, up by three basis points compared to.

4 Telecommunications industries recorded production of billion, a 1% increase on the previous year. Mobile telephones performed strongly (22 million units sold during the year) and there was a significant rise in the use of smartphones. The systems integration business and its associated services also performed well, growing by 4% compared to. Telecommunications industries Telecommunications equipment Systems and associated services Total telecommunications industries *Millions of Euros Production* , , Exports* Telecommunications services represent 57% of total production, although in this figure fell by 3% to billion. Nevertheless, the area related to internet users was very active during this period, while mobile broadband also performed well. In relation to mobile devices, the number of lines increased by just over 2.2 million, with telephone lines rising by.5 million, data cards by 1.4 million and lines connected to machines by.3 million. In, revenues from internet access fell due to the price war in the market, and revenues from other services (sale/lease of terminals) also declined.

5 Revenues from consumer electronics totaled billion in. The sale of around 5.5 million TV receivers driven by the analogue switch-off and the soccer World Cup led to a rise of 38% in sales compared to the previous year. Furthermore, all these receivers have a DTT decoder incorporated and more than 9% have high definition capabilities. The e-book market grew less than expected, although it still sold 26, units.

The demand for semiconductors, both discrete and integrated, grew by 33% as a result of the increase in automotive manufacturing and the greater use of semiconductors in vehicles. It is estimated that 41% of the semiconductor market is in this sector. Electronic component exports grew by 12% during, driven by the performance of foreign markets. It should be noted that the Spanish electronic components industry (excluding other components and antennae, cables and subcontracting) exports 75% of its production.
