Romania imported €366 million of goods in the customs headings matched to lighting equipment and electric lamps in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 9405 and 8539; all buyers, not only public ones), down 0.7% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 97 companies have won 336 public supply contracts for lighting equipment and electric lamps in Romania, in 109 award notices from 85 public buyers.

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.
