Furnishing market in Germany: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Germany awarded 211 supply contracts for furnishing through award notices on TED; the 65 of them that state a value (30.8%) add up to €20.6 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Germany imported €5.36 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to furnishing in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 3924, 7323, 7013, 7615, 6911 and 8 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 19.3% from 2023.

Since November 2023, 259 companies have won 620 public supply contracts for furnishing in Germany, in 329 award notices from 236 public buyers.
96.6% of these awards went to companies registered in Germany; the most frequent foreign origin is Poland.
The five companies that win most often hold 12.9% of all awards.
14.7% 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.
