Checking and testing apparatus market in Poland: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Poland awarded 694 supply contracts for checking and testing apparatus through award notices on TED; the 675 of them that state a value (97.3%) add up to €442 million. Poland imported €1.71 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to checking and testing apparatus in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 9031, 9032, 9028, 9029, 9012 and 2 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), down 7.3% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 553 companies have won 1,839 public supply contracts for checking and testing apparatus in Poland, in 1,135 award notices from 318 public buyers.
  • 92.1% of these awards went to companies registered in Poland; the most frequent foreign origin is Germany.

  • 68.3% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

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.
