Machinery for the production and use of mechanical power market in Germany: size, suppliers and public contracts
Market size and key facts
In 2025, public buyers in Germany awarded 99 supply contracts for machinery for the production and use of mechanical power through award notices on TED; the 34 of them that state a value (34.3%) add up to €13 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Germany imported €22.8 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to machinery for the production and use of mechanical power in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8481, 8483, 8413, 8412, 8406 and 3 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 3.9% from 2023.
- Since November 2023, 172 companies have won 292 public supply contracts for machinery for the production and use of mechanical power in Germany, in 197 award notices from 123 public buyers.
- 91.1% of these awards went to companies registered in Germany; the most frequent foreign origin is Switzerland.

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.
