Accumulators, primary cells and primary batteries market in Romania: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Romania awarded 211 supply contracts for accumulators, primary cells and primary batteries through award notices on TED; the 121 of them that state a value (57.3%) add up to €6.69 million. Romania imported €1.29 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to accumulators, primary cells and primary batteries in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8507 and 8506; all buyers, not only public ones), up 158.2% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 39 companies have won 464 public supply contracts for accumulators, primary cells and primary batteries in Romania, in 54 award notices from 34 public buyers.
  • 99.6% of these awards went to companies registered in Romania; the most frequent foreign origin is Switzerland.

  • 12.1% 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.
