Construction materials and associated items market in Sweden: size, suppliers and public contracts
Market size and key facts
In 2025, public buyers in Sweden awarded 113 supply contracts for construction materials and associated items through award notices on TED; the 18 of them that state a value (15.9%) add up to €7.9 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Sweden imported €2.1 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to construction materials and associated items in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 3917, 7306, 7307, 7304, 6907 and 14 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), down 8.3% from 2023.
- Since November 2023, 151 companies have won 348 public supply contracts for construction materials and associated items in Sweden, in 174 award notices from 107 public buyers.
- 98.9% of these awards went to companies registered in Sweden; the most frequent foreign origin is Germany.
- The five companies that win most often hold 31.6% of all awards.
- 12.7% 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.

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.
