Machine tools market in Romania: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Romania awarded 66 supply contracts for machine tools through award notices on TED; the 62 of them that state a value (93.9%) add up to €18.8 million. Romania imported €802 million of goods in the customs headings matched to machine tools in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8467, 8466, 8515, 8457, 8462 and 8 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), down 8% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 106 companies have won 180 public supply contracts for machine tools in Romania, in 129 award notices from 76 public buyers.
  • 92.8% of these awards went to companies registered in Romania; the most frequent foreign origin is Bulgaria.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 16.1% of all awards.
  • 61.9% 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.
