Forestry and logging products market in Sweden: size, suppliers and public contracts
Market size and key facts
In 2025, public buyers in Sweden awarded 56 supply contracts for forestry and logging products through award notices on TED; the 13 of them that state a value (23.2%) add up to €8.79 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Sweden imported €1.41 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to forestry and logging products in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 4703, 4401, 4403, 4702, 4602 and 10 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 9.7% from 2023.
- Since November 2023, 70 companies have won 123 public supply contracts for forestry and logging products in Sweden, in 60 award notices from 43 public buyers.
- 95.1% of these awards went to companies registered in Sweden; the most frequent foreign origin is Germany.
- The five companies that win most often hold 26.8% of all awards.
- 21% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.
In proportion
All public purchasing in Sweden — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €106 billion in 2025, 17.6% 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.

How we count: one award per procedure, lot and winning company, from live contract award notices; a joint procurement counts on every buyer's market. Values are the awarded amounts published in the notice (framework ceilings and estimates are never added), converted to euro at the ECB yearly average. Company size is the SME flag of the notice (eForms BT-165). Read the methodology.
