Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products market in Latvia: size, suppliers and public contracts
Market size and key facts
In 2025, public buyers in Latvia awarded 1,750 supply contracts for medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products through award notices on TED; the 712 of them that state a value (40.7%) add up to €31.7 million, a floor rather than the full contract value.
- Since November 2023, 282 companies have won 5,175 public supply contracts for medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products in Latvia, in 699 award notices from 47 public buyers.
- 97.3% of these awards went to companies registered in Latvia; the most frequent foreign origin is Lithuania.
- The five companies that win most often hold 26.3% of all awards.
- 20.9% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.
In proportion
All public purchasing in Latvia — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €6.65 billion in 2025, 15.2% 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.
General government spending on goods, services and investment for health in Latvia came to €1.22 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.
