Electronic, electromechanical and electrotechnical supplies market in Germany: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Germany awarded 92 supply contracts for electronic, electromechanical and electrotechnical supplies through award notices on TED; the 28 of them that state a value (30.4%) add up to €26.6 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Germany imported €29.9 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to electronic, electromechanical and electrotechnical supplies in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8542, 8541, 8534, 8532 and 8533; all buyers, not only public ones), down 23.6% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 248 companies have won 350 public supply contracts for electronic, electromechanical and electrotechnical supplies in Germany, in 252 award notices from 142 public buyers.
  • 86% of these awards went to companies registered in Germany; the most frequent foreign origin is Netherlands.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 8.9% of all awards.
  • 50.4% 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.
