Miscellaneous food products market in Slovakia: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Slovakia awarded 518 supply contracts for miscellaneous food products through award notices on TED; the 277 of them that state a value (53.5%) add up to €39.8 million. Slovakia imported €1.87 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to miscellaneous food products in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 1905, 1806, 2106, 1804, 1901 and 19 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 16.4% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 163 companies have won 1,414 public supply contracts for miscellaneous food products in Slovakia, in 888 award notices from 129 public buyers.
  • 98.9% of these awards went to companies registered in Slovakia; the most frequent foreign origin is Czechia.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 44.3% of all awards.
  • 33.3% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Slovakia — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €19.3 billion in 2025, 13.9% 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.
