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.

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.
