Furniture market in Slovakia: size, suppliers and public contracts
Market size and key facts
In 2025, public buyers in Slovakia awarded 169 supply contracts for furniture through award notices on TED; the 166 of them that state a value (98.2%) add up to €75.7 million. Slovakia imported €1.75 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to furniture in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 9403, 9401 and 4814; all buyers, not only public ones), up 2.6% from 2023.
- Since November 2023, 107 companies have won 495 public supply contracts for furniture in Slovakia, in 387 award notices from 80 public buyers.
- 99% of these awards went to companies registered in Slovakia; the most frequent foreign origin is Poland.
- The five companies that win most often hold 40% of all awards.
- 20.9% 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.

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.
