Romania imported €203 million of goods in the customs headings matched to navigational and meteorological instruments in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8526 and 9014; all buyers, not only public ones), up 10.1% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 33 companies have won 215 public supply contracts for navigational and meteorological instruments in Romania, in 39 award notices from 26 public buyers.
  • 97.2% of these awards went to companies registered in Romania; the most frequent foreign origin is Netherlands.

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.
