Structural products market in Germany: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Germany awarded 145 supply contracts for structural products through award notices on TED; the 54 of them that state a value (37.2%) add up to €33.2 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Germany imported €8.5 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to structural products in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 7308, 4418, 7610 and 9406; all buyers, not only public ones), up 7.7% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 208 companies have won 440 public supply contracts for structural products in Germany, in 321 award notices from 217 public buyers.
  • 95.2% of these awards went to companies registered in Germany; the most frequent foreign origin is Spain.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 20.7% of all awards.
  • 15.1% 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.
