Press Release - April 2026

• The Iberian public car parks market maintained positive momentum in 2025, supported by rising urban mobility and the gradual reduction in free parking supply in the main cities, which boosted the sector's aggregate turnover.

• Dynamism was widespread across the main business segments, with somewhat more favourable performance in the Portuguese market. Meanwhile, the concentration process continued to advance, especially via corporate transactions led by the major groups.

• INFORMA's DBK Sectoral Observatory recently published these insights in the 'Public Car Parks (Iberian Market)' Sectoral Report.

Madrid, 16 April 2026.- According to INFORMA's (Cesce's subsidiary) DBK Sectoral Observatory—a leading provider of business, financial, sectoral, and marketing information in Spain and Portugal—revenue from renting out spaces in multi-storey car parks and managing spaces in regulated on-street parking reached €1.68 billion across the Iberian market in 2025, up 5.3% year-over-year.

This sustained the growth trend that began in 2021, mainly reflecting the gradual reduction in free parking in the most densely populated urban areas, as well as increased mobility in the main cities in Spain and Portugal.

The Spanish market accounted for 88% of turnover, with revenue of €1.475 billion, after posting a 5.1% increase. The Portuguese market was more dynamic, growing 6.8% to €205 million.

By business segment, multi-storey car parks generated revenue of €1.293 billion in the Iberian market in 2025, up 5.6%, accounting for 77% of the total.

The regulated on-street parking segment totalled €387 million, up 4.6%, mainly supported by the expansion of regulated parking in medium-sized municipalities and tourist areas.

The sector comprises around 875 companies and business groups operating a total of 1,825,000 parking spaces across the Iberian market, considering both multi-storey car parks and regulated on-street parking, of which 1,510,000 are located in Spain and 315,000 in Portugal.

The various acquisitions and corporate reorganisations recorded in recent years have supported the concentration process. In this context, the top five operators reached a combined market share of 50.7% across the Iberian market in 2025.
