Police equipment market in Germany: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Germany awarded 41 supply contracts for police equipment through award notices on TED; the 4 of them that state a value (9.8%) add up to €1.06 million, a floor rather than the full contract value.

  • Since November 2023, 65 companies have won 109 public supply contracts for police equipment in Germany, in 77 award notices from 41 public buyers.
  • 93.6% of these awards went to companies registered in Germany; the most frequent foreign origin is Finland.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 22% of all awards.
  • 44.4% 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.

General government spending on goods, services and investment for defence in Germany came to €31.9 billion in 2024 (Eurostat, COFOG). How much of it reaches suppliers through tenders depends on how the country organises the sector — for example whether statutory health insurance is classified in government.

General government spending on goods, services and investment for public order and safety in Germany came to €24.6 billion in 2024 (Eurostat, COFOG). How much of it reaches suppliers through tenders depends on how the country organises the sector — for example whether statutory health insurance is classified in government.
