Portugal is a medium size market whose standards for business are approaching the ones of the most developed countries of the European Union. The high level of demand and competitiveness show an increasing interest for new and quality products and for well-known brands.

In the business field, the country is divided in two big zones: south-center (Lisbon-Setubal) and north (Porto). The commercial and business activity is focused in these two urban areas that represent 40% of the population and 60% of the wealth.

In the Portuguese economy the influence of familiar groups is really significant, with branches in the most important sectors (banking, distribution, construction). If you want to make important business you will have to contact one of them.

Import commerce is dominated by products coming from Spain. At the same time, Spain exports to Portugal more than to the whole group of South American countries.

There is an important presence of foreign companies with branches in the country, altogether, around 8,000, from which 2.500 are Spanish.
