Geological and geophysical instruments market in Spain: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

Spain imported €163 million of goods in the customs headings matched to geological and geophysical instruments in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 9015; all buyers, not only public ones), up 32.6% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 35 companies have won 68 public supply contracts for geological and geophysical instruments in Spain, in 52 award notices from 27 public buyers.
  • 92.6% of these awards went to companies registered in Spain; the most frequent foreign origin is Latvia.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Spain — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €192 billion in 2025, 11.3% 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.
