Resumen
En los últimos años, las exportaciones españolas han aumentado significativamente, en un contexto de ampliación de la base de empresas exportadoras españolas, liderada por las PYMes, aunque las ventas al exterior están concentradas en una pequeña fracción de exportadores grandes y estables. En cualquier caso, el crecimiento potencial de las exportaciones ha mejorado gracias a la ampliación de la base estable de exportadores y a la diversificación geográfica hacia mercados emergentes. Las empresas exportadoras son más grandes y productivas que aquellas que solo operan en el mercado nacional. A su vez, dentro de los exportadores, las empresas estables y más diversificadas geográficamente son más eficientes y de mayor tamaño que el resto de las compañías presentes en los mercados internacionales. Ampliaciones adicionales de la base exportadora estable requieren mejoras de la eficiencia del segmento de las PYMes. La eliminación de los obstáculos que restringen el crecimiento y la capacidad de innovación de estas empresas es un factor clave para consolidar su presencia en los mercados internacionales a largo plazo
During the last years, Spanish goods exports have increased significantly against a background of widening of the Spanish firms exporting base. This change has been led by SMEs, although there is still a high concentration of international sales in a small fraction of large and stable exporters. In any case, potential export growth has improved thanks to the widening of stable exporters base and to their geographical diversification towards emerging markets. Exporting firms are greater and have higher labour productivity than those focused only in domestic markets. Also within exporting firms, those with stable and diversified external flows are positively selected in terms of productivity and size. The potential widening of the stable exporting base would require an improvement of the efficiency of the segment of SMEs. Removing potential regulatory barriers that might restrict their growth and innovation ability is key to consolidate their presence in international markets in the long run
