Beverages, tobacco and related products market in Czechia: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Czechia awarded 103 supply contracts for beverages, tobacco and related products through award notices on TED; the 46 of them that state a value (44.7%) add up to €5.1 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Czechia imported €1.36 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to beverages, tobacco and related products in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 2202, 2402, 2204, 2208, 2203 and 5 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 0.3% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 89 companies have won 319 public supply contracts for beverages, tobacco and related products in Czechia, in 64 award notices from 17 public buyers.
  • 99.4% of these awards went to companies registered in Czechia; the most frequent foreign origin is Slovakia.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 23.8% of all awards.
  • 7.8% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Czechia — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €50.5 billion in 2025, 14.5% of GDP (Eurostat). Award notices on TED cover only the contracts above the EU thresholds, so they show who wins, not the whole of that spending.
