Pharmaceutical products market in Greece: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Greece awarded 205 supply contracts for pharmaceutical products through award notices on TED; the 204 of them that state a value (99.5%) add up to €28.7 million. Greece imported €4.3 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to pharmaceutical products in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 3004, 3002, 3822 and 3003; all buyers, not only public ones), up 4.3% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 144 companies have won 942 public supply contracts for pharmaceutical products in Greece, in 342 award notices from 93 public buyers.
  • 99.9% of these awards went to companies registered in Greece; the most frequent foreign origin is Czechia.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 25.7% of all awards.
  • 64.9% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Greece — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €32.5 billion in 2025, 13% 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 Greece came to €9.68 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.
