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

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in 30 European countries awarded 1,547 supply contracts for structural products through award notices on TED; the 1,091 of them that state a value (70.5%) add up to €1.56 billion. EU countries together imported €38.5 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to structural products in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 7308, 4418, 7610 and 9406; sum of national imports, trade between EU countries included; all buyers, not only public ones), up 8.1% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 1,895 companies have won 4,373 public supply contracts for structural products in 30 European countries, in 2,510 award notices from 1,479 public buyers.
  • 4.1% of these awards went to a company registered in a different country from the buyer; the most frequent foreign origin is Germany.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 8% of all awards across Europe.
  • 27.2% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in the EU-27 — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €2.93 trillion in 2025, 15.5% 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.

How we count: one award per procedure, lot and winning company, from live contract award notices; a joint procurement counts on every buyer's market. Values are the awarded amounts published in the notice (framework ceilings and estimates are never added), converted to euro at the ECB yearly average. Company size is the SME flag of the notice (eForms BT-165). Read the methodology.
