  • Highlights of UN procurement in 2025

    UN procurement totalled $22.7 billion in 2025 – a decrease of $3.0 billion, or 11.5 per cent, from 2024, yet still the fifth-highest annual volume on record. The same 32 UN organizations reported in 2025, ensuring year-on-year consistency. Collaborative procurement reached $1.7 billion – up from $1.4 billion in 2024 – and accounted for 7.6 per cent of total UN procurement.

    Health remained the top sector at $5.2 billion, driven by procurement of Pharmaceuticals, Contraceptives and Vaccines, which at $4.0 billion stayed the single largest procurement segment across the UN system. Construction, Engineering and Science held second place at $3.6 billion and was the only sector to record an increase. Administration and Operations remained third at $2.7 billion, while Food and Farming saw the steepest decline among major sectors, falling 33.4 per cent to $1.6 billion.

    In 2025, the UN sourced goods and services from suppliers in 227 different countries and territories. While total procurement volumes decreased across most regions, their relative shares remained largely consistent with previous years, reflecting the global footprint of UN operations.

    Europe led with $7.2 billion, accounting for 31.8 per cent of total procurement, followed by Asia at $6.7 billion, or 29.7 per cent. Africa remained the third-largest region at $4.7 billion, while Oceania was the only region to record growth, driven primarily by Fiji.

    Procurement from least developed countries (LDCs) reached $4.3 billion in 2025, maintaining a substantial 18.8 per cent share of total UN procurement. Procurement from LLDCs totalled $2.5 billion, while sourcing from SIDS reached $684 million.

    UN organizations continued to prioritize sustainability in procurement. In 2025, 25 out of 30 organizations reported having embedded sustainability criteria into their requirements definitions, with 21 organizations addressing all three sustainability dimensions – environmental, social and economic. Recognizing the importance of supplier engagement in advancing sustainability, 13 organizations reported collaborating with their suppliers on supply chain sustainability efforts.
