Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Hungary awarded 44 supply contracts for electrical equipment and apparatus through award notices on TED; the 32 of them that state a value (72.7%) add up to €6.61 million. Hungary imported €1.56 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to electrical equipment and apparatus in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8543, 8512, 8511, 8531, 8505 and 4 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), down 15.8% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 54 companies have won 148 public supply contracts for electrical equipment and apparatus in Hungary, in 64 award notices from 26 public buyers.
  • 95.3% of these awards went to companies registered in Hungary; the most frequent foreign origin is Czechia.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Hungary — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €30.3 billion in 2025, 13.8% 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.
