- The companies listed on BME Growth and BME Scaleup increase revenue by 29.2%, EBITDA by 28%, and their workforce by 8.5% in 2025
The evolution of the main operating metrics of companies listed on BME’s growth markets confirms that listing on capital markets accelerates business growth. This is demonstrated by data from SMEs on BME Growth and BME Scaleup over the past decade. The sample incorporates each company’s financial information from its date of market admission and for as long as data is available in each case.
In terms of revenue, expansion companies (all companies excluding SOCIMIs) recorded an annualized growth of 26.9% between 2015 and 2025, equivalent to multiplying their aggregate revenues by 10.8 times in ten years. In the case of SOCIMIs, revenue grew at an annualized rate of 21.2%, which represents a 6.8-fold increase over the same period.
This trend was also reflected in the latest financial year. In 2025, aggregate revenue for expansion companies reached €3,913.0 million, 29.2% more than in 2024, while SOCIMIs recorded €1,980.3 million, up 10.6%.
In EBITDA, the performance of expansion companies was also stronger over the last decade. Between 2015 and 2025, their EBITDA grew at a compound annual rate of 30.0%, multiplying by 13.8 times. SOCIMIs, for their part, recorded an annualized growth of 19.3%, equivalent to a 5.9-fold increase in this measure.
In 2025, the combined EBITDA of expansion companies stood at €501 million, representing a 28% increase over the previous year. For SOCIMIs, aggregate EBITDA reached €1,037.3 million, with a 3.6% rise.
In employment, expansion companies again show the strongest profile. Between 2015 and 2025, the number of employees grew at an annualized rate of 23.5%, multiplying employment by 8.2 times in ten years.
In 2025, these companies reached 26,492 employees, 8.5% more than in 2024. In the case of SOCIMIs, employment trends show a more stable and less expansive profile, in line with the characteristics of their activity.
These data reflect the capacity of BME’s growth markets to host companies from different sectors of the economy. In this context, expansion companies stand out particularly for the intensity of their long-term growth, even in a decade marked by a pandemic, a resurgence of inflation, and rising interest rates, highlighting the strength and adaptability of these companies.
BME’s growth markets welcomed 14 new companies in 2025 and have hosted seven more listings so far in 2026.
