Computer equipment and supplies market in France: size, suppliers and public contracts
Market size and key facts

France imported €13 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to computer equipment and supplies in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8471 and 8473; all buyers, not only public ones), up 24.8% from 2023.
- Since November 2023, 557 companies have won 1,844 public supply contracts for computer equipment and supplies in France, in 712 award notices from 514 public buyers.
- 99.3% of these awards went to companies registered in France; the most frequent foreign origin is Germany.
- The five companies that win most often hold 23% of all awards.
- 11.7% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.
In proportion
All public purchasing in France — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €486 billion in 2025, 16.2% 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.

Company size is the SME flag of the notice (eForms BT-165). Read the methodology.
