Machinery for the production and use of mechanical power market in France: size, suppliers and public contracts
Market size and key facts
In 2025, public buyers in France awarded 184 supply contracts for machinery for the production and use of mechanical power through award notices on TED; the 48 of them that state a value (26.1%) add up to €14.9 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. France imported €9.15 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to machinery for the production and use of mechanical power in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8481, 8483, 8413, 8412, 8406 and 3 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), down 0.3% from 2023.
- Since November 2023, 331 companies have won 542 public supply contracts for machinery for the production and use of mechanical power in France, in 236 award notices from 181 public buyers.
- 95% of these awards went to companies registered in France; the most frequent foreign origin is Italy.
- The five companies that win most often hold 11.8% of all awards.
- 20.2% 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.
