Spain's animation industry has called for greater investment in its intellectual property and a stronger global drive. The Global Animation From Spain roundtable at the Málaga Festival was moderated by Carmen Páez, undersecretary at Spain's Culture Ministry. The panel included Raúl Rocha of Illusorium Studios, Manuel Sicilia of Rokyn Animation, Sergio Jiménez of Pinkman TV, Jordi B. Oliva of Imagic TV, and Daisy Cruz, president of MIA, Spain’s Women in Animation. Spain's animation and VFX sector generated €604 million ($701 million) in 2023, with 70% of turnover coming from exports. However, the industrial base remains highly fragmented, with 75% of microcompanies and 19% are small businesses.
