Special clothing and accessories market in Romania: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Romania awarded 194 supply contracts for special clothing and accessories through award notices on TED; the 85 of them that state a value (43.8%) add up to €3.57 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Romania imported €302 million of goods in the customs headings matched to special clothing and accessories in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 6111, 6505, 6112, 6214, 6209 and 7 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), down 2.2% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 106 companies have won 1,317 public supply contracts for special clothing and accessories in Romania, in 112 award notices from 71 public buyers.
  • 99.9% of these awards went to companies registered in Romania; the most frequent foreign origin is Italy.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 57.3% of all awards.
  • 14.4% 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.
