The Community of Madrid has presented a study carried out in collaboration with the Association of Advertising Film Producers (APCP) and which recognizes Madrid as the region that receives the highest number of advertising shoots in all of Spain, 43% of them. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism, given the concern about the situation of the audiovisual sector in general, and of advertising films in particular, has promoted the realization of this market study, which analyzes the current state of this type of productions.
The objective of this report is to know the economic impact of advertising cinema in the region, in terms of investment and number of contracts and expenses derived from productions, based on four indicators: the volume and destination of the billing, the economic activity generated and the volume of hiring of personnel. It also analyzes the impact of the crisis derived from COVID-19 in this industry during 2020.

An economic impact that mainly translates into rental of materials, post-production, construction of sets, hospitality and accommodation and a wide range of services.
In addition, and in the economic sphere, the investment that advertising cinema has left in the region represents just over 74 million euros, a figure that represents 51% of the total investment in Spain. Likewise, the Community is the region that receives the highest number of advertising shoots (43%), followed by Catalonia (38%) and the rest of Spain (19%).
In addition, almost half of the production companies participating in the study state that Madrid offers the same facilities for filming as other major European capitals. Some facilities that are channeled through Film Madrid, the Filming Office of the Community of Madrid in the case of requests for locations in the region.
All this despite the current context, in which the COVID-19 crisis has caused advertising shootings in the region to decrease, and production companies have experienced negative growth of more than 20%, both in turnover and in number. of completed projects.
