Outerwear market in Romania: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Romania awarded 123 supply contracts for outerwear through award notices on TED; the 64 of them that state a value (52%) add up to €4.17 million. Romania imported €1.59 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to outerwear in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 6204, 6110, 6203, 6104, 6202 and 4 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 14.3% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 36 companies have won 665 public supply contracts for outerwear in Romania, in 46 award notices from 38 public buyers.
  • 100% of these awards went to companies registered in Romania.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 59.2% of all awards.
  • 18.1% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Romania — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €47.7 billion in 2025, 12.5% 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.

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.
