Electric motors, generators and transformers market in Germany: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Germany awarded 197 supply contracts for electric motors, generators and transformers through award notices on TED; the 51 of them that state a value (25.9%) add up to €57.4 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Germany imported €24.1 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to electric motors, generators and transformers in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8504, 8501, 8503 and 8502; all buyers, not only public ones), down 2.2% from 2023.

Since November 2023, 272 companies have won 678 public supply contracts for electric motors, generators and transformers in Germany, in 343 award notices from 220 public buyers.
77.1% of these awards went to companies registered in Germany; the most frequent foreign origin is Ukraine.
The five companies that win most often hold 18.1% of all awards.
28.9% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Germany — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €864 billion in 2025, 19.1% 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.
