The garage market in Illes Balears, in figures
The Balearic Islands are a market of their own: Mallorca holds most of the population and fleet, with Palma as the main city, while Ibiza and Menorca have their own dynamics. Tourism sends rental fleets soaring in season, and island logistics make parts more expensive than on the mainland.
The province has 67 municipalities, and its main town, Palma, accounts for 35% of residents. Among the 50 provinces, Illes Balears ranks 9 for cars per inhabitant, 1 for cars per sector business and 37 for the share of cars with no environmental label.
The ratio of cars to sector businesses works in your favour in Illes Balears: 380 cars per premises, 33% more than in Spain overall. Electrification is slower than in the rest of the country (6.4% ZERO or ECO cars versus 8.4%): most work will remain combustion for years, though early hybrid specialists will face little competition. Diesel weighs less than in the rest of Spain (32.7% versus 51.1%), with petrol and hybrids gaining ground in the workshop.
