Market size and key facts
In 2025, public buyers in Finland awarded 1,294 supply contracts for medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products through award notices on TED; the 435 of them that state a value (33.6%) add up to €252 million, a floor rather than the full contract value.

- 91.6% of these awards went to companies registered in Finland; the most frequent foreign origin is Sweden.

In proportion
All public purchasing in Finland — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €54.7 billion in 2025, 19.4% 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.
General government spending on goods, services and investment for health in Finland came to €12.4 billion in 2024 (Eurostat, COFOG). How much of it reaches suppliers through tenders depends on how the country organises the sector — for example whether statutory health insurance is classified in government.
