2. SECONDARY SECTOR
IN SPAIN
INDEX:
● secondary sector in
spain
● industry
● raw materials
● energy sources
● renewable and non-
renewable sources
-Activities concerned with
transforming raw materials into
products that satisfy human needs
● Industry (most important)
● mining
● energy production
● construction

3. SECONDARY SECTOR IN SPAIN
-30% of the population works
-Three important types in the industry:
❖ -The primary industries: transform the
raw materials into other materials.
❖ -Equipment and machinery industries:
produce tools and machinery which other
industries need.
❖ - Consumer industries:manufacture
products to sell directly to the consumers.

4. INDUSTRY
TRANSFORM RAW MATERIALS INTO…
Manufactured products: for direct consumption
Semi finished products: to be used in other industrial processes
INDUSTRY REQUIRES 3 ELEMENTS
RAW MATERIALS
ENERGY SOURCES
FACTORS OF PRODUCTION:
● Labour force (employees)
● Capital (money)
● technology

5. RAW MATERIALS
“Natural resources that industry transforms into manufactured or semi finished products”
PLANT SOURCED - Agriculture (sugar, cotton, linen...)
- silviculture (wood, cork…)
RAW MATERIALS ANIMAL SOURCED -livestock/ farming (wool, hides, silk…)
-fishing
GEOLOGICAL -minerals (iron, aluminium, copper…)
- rocks (granite, marble…)
-energy products (coal, natural gas…)

7. ENERGY SOURCES
TRADITIONAL
(Most widely used)
OIL

(renewable but still too
expensive)

8. RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES IN SPAIN
produce zero carbon emissions
Spain has long been a leader in renewable energy (45-69% of its energy
needs from renewable energy sources)
Most of the renewable electricity in Spain comes from wind (first country in
the world to have relied on wind as its top energy source for an entire year)
often competes with nuclear for the title of Spain’s top electricity source
also developing other renewable sources of energy, particularly solar
photovoltaic.

11. MAIN INDUSTRIAL REGIONS

12. Problems in spanish industry
-Competitive with other countries
-A lot of enterprises are small or medium
-It have a limited investigation
-Scarcity of qualificate workers
-The technology is behind and dependent

13. Problems with offshoring
Offshoring is the relocation of a business process from one country to another.
For example: some enterprise of Spain went to China to produce there but they had to came back.

14. Problems with environment
-The excessive use of the natural resources.
-The pollution that it can cause is very big.
-The effects that can to the landscape.

15. SECONDARY SECTOR
IN THE BASQUE
COUNTRY

16. SECONDARY SECTOR IN THE BASQUE
COUNTRY
In the Basque Country industries were located around “Nervioi” river and it was based on the iron

other federal or centralized state.
The design, management and control of the main taxes belong to the regional tax authorities of the
Basque Country.
“Global effective tax pressure” is slightly below to that of the rest of Spanish regions.

18. RAW MATERIALS IN BASQUE COUNTRY
The industry can be transformed in raw materials, finished, semi finished or intermediate products
The other raw materials that are : industry , energy and mining
