Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment market in Germany: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Germany awarded 96 supply contracts for radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment through award notices on TED; the 25 of them that state a value (26%) add up to €19.9 million, a floor rather than the full contract value.

  • Since November 2023, 166 companies have won 293 public supply contracts for radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment in Germany, in 190 award notices from 114 public buyers.
  • 98.6% of these awards went to companies registered in Germany; the most frequent foreign origin is Austria.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 13.3% of all awards.
  • 40.4% 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.
