France is a major market for pharmaceuticals. It is Europe's fourth largest producer, third largest importer, fourth largest exporter and second largest consumer.

Spain is Europe's fourth largest pharma employer and sixth in terms of both production and consumption. Taken together the two countries constitute Europe's biggest concentration of pharma production.
