Animal products, meat and meat products market in Sweden: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Sweden awarded 50 supply contracts for animal products, meat and meat products through award notices on TED; the 11 of them that state a value (22%) add up to €20.5 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Sweden imported €1.96 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to animal products, meat and meat products in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 0201, 0203, 0207, 1602, 1601 and 6 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 19.2% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 78 companies have won 193 public supply contracts for animal products, meat and meat products in Sweden, in 86 award notices from 64 public buyers.
  • 100% of these awards went to companies registered in Sweden.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 37.8% of all awards.
  • 24.4% 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.
