Poland imported €1.74 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to metal ores and alloys in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 7204, 2603, 2601, 7202, 2608 and 7 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), down 12.5% from 2023.

- 98.5% of these awards went to companies registered in Poland; the most frequent foreign origin is Germany.

In proportion
All public purchasing in Poland — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €133 billion in 2025, 14.4% 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.

How we count: one award per procedure, lot and winning company, from live contract award notices; a joint procurement counts on every buyer's market. Values are the awarded amounts published in the notice (framework ceilings and estimates are never added), converted to euro at the ECB yearly average. Company size is the SME flag of the notice (eForms BT-165). Read the methodology.
