# Poland Logistics and Warehousing Market Size, Share, Trends & Forecast, 2025-2032 --- ## Market Overview # CHAPTER 1 - Market Overview The Poland Logistics and Warehousing Market is anchored by high-frequency domestic and cross-border freight flows. Polish-registered vehicles generated **368 billion tonne-km in 2024**, nearly one-fifth of EU road freight performance and more than Germany's 281 billion tonne-km. That scale gives road carriers dense network economics while sustaining forwarding, consolidation, terminal and warehouse demand around national distribution corridors. Warehouse capacity is concentrated in the major Warsaw, Central Poland, Silesia and western corridors. Modern warehouse and logistics stock reached **36.6 million sqm at end-2025**, up 5.9% year on year. Mazovia accounted for **21.2% of 2025 leasing activity**, with ?ódzkie at 17.7%, reinforcing Warsaw and central Poland as the country's principal consumption, fulfilment and cross-dock nexus. Infrastructure policy increasingly shapes route choice and asset location. Poland had almost **5,466 km of motorways and expressways at end-2025**, with 116 road tasks covering nearly 1,373 km under implementation. TEN-T Regulation 2024/1679 also sets network milestones for 2030, 2040 and 2050, supporting investment around core freight corridors, multimodal terminals and urban nodes. Trade and modal volatility require flexible capacity planning. Polish seaports handled **124.2 million tonnes in 2024**, down 8.9% year on year, while Port of Gda?sk alone handled 77.4 million tonnes. This variation increases the value of multimodal routing, contract-logistics flexibility and inland buffer capacity, especially for operators serving industrial, retail, energy and import-export cargo flows. ## KPIs at a Glance * Market Value: USD 52,050 Mn (2025) * Dominant Region: Mazovia and Warsaw (2025) * Dominant Segment: Freight Transport within Service Type (2025) * Total Number of Players: 3,199 ## Future Outlook The Poland Logistics and Warehousing Market is projected to expand from **USD 52,050 Mn in 2025** to **USD 62,935 Mn by 2032**, implying a **2.75% CAGR for 2025-2032**. This is slower than the modeled 4.28% historical CAGR for 2020-2025 as the market normalizes after pandemic-era capacity expansion, but the underlying activity base remains unusually deep. Poland's 368 billion tonne-km road-freight performance, continued motorway build-out and 36.6 million sqm warehouse stock sustain a broad revenue pool across transport, forwarding, fulfilment and storage. For investors, this implies predictable but increasingly execution-sensitive returns, with utilization, service mix and customer density becoming more important than headline volume growth. Growth through 2032 should shift toward higher-value logistics rather than pure capacity addition. E-commerce represented **9.1% of Polish retail sales in 2025**, while warehouse leasing reached 6.6 million sqm, the third-highest annual result recorded by CBRE. Operators with automation, parcel-network density, integrated 3PL capabilities, pharmaceutical compliance and multimodal control-tower functions can capture a disproportionate share of incremental value. Infrastructure completion and TEN-T integration should further strengthen Poland's role as a distribution platform connecting Germany, Czechia, the Baltics and eastern EU corridors. The strongest operators should monetize network density through lower unit costs, faster delivery and higher warehouse throughput while preserving service reliability. --- | | | | --- | --- | | **2.75%** Forecast CAGR (2025-2032) | **$62,935 Mn** 2032 Projection | --- | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Base Year **2025** | Historical Period **2020-2025** | Forecast Period **2025-2032** | Historical CAGR **4.28%** | --- ## Scope of the Report # CHAPTER 2 - Scope of the Market * **Geographic Coverage:** Poland * **Historical Period:** 2020-2025 * **Base Year:** 2025 * **Forecast Period:** 2025-2032 (base year inclusive) * **Market Segments Covered:** 7 primary segmentation dimensions (Service Type, Mode of Transport, Shipment Flow, Customer Type, End-Use Industry, Business Model, Geography) * **Companies Covered:** Top 10 key players profiled * **Currency & Units:** USD, values expressed in USD Mn ### Segmentation Data Tree * Service Type + Freight Transport - Full truckload and linehaul - Less-than-truckload and groupage - Intermodal trunk transport + Freight Forwarding - Road forwarding - Sea and air forwarding - Customs and consolidation + Warehousing and Storage - General merchandise storage - Temperature-controlled storage - Fulfilment and value-added handling + Courier, Express and Parcel - Home delivery - Parcel locker delivery - Business parcel services * Mode of Transport + Road Freight - Domestic haulage - International haulage - Cross-trade and cabotage + Rail Freight - Intermodal rail - Wagonload freight - Port-hinterland rail + Sea and Inland Water Freight - Containerized cargo - Dry bulk cargo - Liquid and project cargo + Air Freight - Express air cargo - General air cargo - Temperature-sensitive air cargo * Shipment Flow + Domestic Distribution - National hub-to-hub - Regional distribution - Urban last mile + Intra-EU Cross-Border - Germany corridor - Czechia and Slovakia corridor - Baltic and Nordic corridor + Extra-EU Trade - Maritime import-export - Air import-export - Eastern land gateways + Transit and Cross-Trade - Western-eastern transit - Baltic-Adriatic transit - Third-country cross-trade * Customer Type + Large Enterprise Shippers - Multinational manufacturers - National retail chains - Large import-export firms + Mid-Market Shippers - Regional manufacturers - Specialty distributors - Growing exporters + E-Commerce Merchants - Marketplaces - Direct-to-consumer brands - Cross-border online sellers + Retail Networks - Grocery chains - Fashion and general merchandise - Electronics and home goods * End-Use Industry + Manufacturing and Automotive - Vehicle and component plants - Machinery and electronics - Industrial spare parts + Retail and E-Commerce - Store replenishment - Omnichannel fulfilment - Returns logistics + Food and Beverage - Ambient food - Chilled and frozen food - Beverage distribution + Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals - GDP-compliant distribution - Temperature-controlled medicines - Medical device logistics * Business Model + Asset-Based Logistics - Owned fleet operations - Owned terminal operations - Dedicated warehouse assets + Non-Asset-Based Forwarding - Carrier brokerage - Digital freight management - Customs and trade services + Third-Party Logistics - Multi-client warehousing - Dedicated contract logistics - Integrated transport management + Fourth-Party Logistics - Control tower management - Lead logistics provider - Network orchestration * Geography + Mazovia and Warsaw - Warsaw urban zone - Western Warsaw logistics belt - Radom corridor + Central Poland and ?ód? - ?ód?-Stryków - Piotrków Trybunalski - Central motorway junctions + Upper Silesia - Katowice-Gliwice - Sosnowiec-D?browa - Southern industrial belt + Western Poland - Pozna? and Greater Poland - Wroc?aw and Lower Silesia - Western border corridor --- ## Market Trajectory # Poland Logistics and Warehousing Market Size, Share, Trends & Forecast, 2025-2032 **Geography:** Poland | **Study Period:** 2020-2032 | **Base Year:** 2025 | **Forecast Period:** 2025-2032 The Poland Logistics and Warehousing Market reached **USD 52,050 Mn in 2025**, supported by Poland's position as the EU's largest road-freight performer at **368 billion tonne-km in 2024**.

The strongest modeled annual increase is 6.32% in 2022, reflecting post-pandemic normalization of industrial, retail and cross-border flows. The trajectory is externally anchored by an independently reported 2024 market value of USD 50.5 billion and 2025 value of USD 52.05 billion. Warehouse stock increased from 20.7 million sqm in 2020 to 36.6 million sqm by end-2025, confirming that revenue growth coincided with major physical capacity expansion and high leasing activity rather than price effects alone. ### Forecast Market Outlook (2025-2032) The forecast applies a 2.75% CAGR from the locked 2025 base, taking the market to 62,935 by 2032. The terminal value is close to the independently published 2032 estimate of USD 62.5 billion, while the annual profile assumes price and service-mix growth remains slightly above composite freight activity growth. Faster expansion is expected in forwarding, international parcels, automation-enabled fulfilment and selected temperature-controlled logistics rather than in undifferentiated storage. The model therefore assumes unit economics improve gradually through automation, network density and specialized services, while overall cargo growth remains moderate. Infrastructure expansion should widen the set of viable logistics nodes without requiring a return to pandemic-era development rates. --- ## Market Breakdown # CHAPTER 4 - Market Breakdown Poland's logistics growth combines a large transport revenue base with a still-expanding warehouse platform.

Internal in-house logistics cost centers are excluded to avoid double counting. The revenue-generating entity is the logistics service provider, forwarder, carrier, warehouse operator or parcel operator. **Supply-side check:** A financial-filing universe identified **3,199 forwarding and logistics companies for 2024**. Named operator verification included DSV, DHL Supply Chain, Raben Logistics Polska, Kuehne+Nagel, Röhlig SUUS Logistics, CEVA Logistics, InPost, DPD Polska, FM Logistic and GXO Logistics. The filing universe does not capture every sole proprietor, so it was used as a structural check rather than a complete revenue total. **Operational check:** The model cross-checked revenue scale against **368 billion tonne-km of Polish road freight in 2024**, **124.2 million tonnes handled by Polish seaports in 2024**, **36.6 million sqm of warehouse stock at end-2025** and **6.6 million sqm of 2025 warehouse leasing**. These measures confirm a large national freight and storage platform rather than a narrow forwarding-only market. **Demand-side check:** Poland's 2025 GDP was about **USD 1.04 trillion**, while online retail accounted for **9.1% of 2025 retail sales**. These macro and channel indicators were combined with manufacturing, retail and trade intensity to check that the logistics revenue estimate is economically plausible relative to national output and shipment demand. **Secondary-source bracket:** One public market estimate places 2025 Poland freight and logistics revenue at **USD 52.05 billion**, while another reports **USD 50.5 billion in 2024** and around **USD 62.5 billion by 2032**. The locked Ken Research estimate uses the 2025 USD 52,050 Mn anchor and a 2.75% 2025-2032 CAGR, producing a 2032 value of USD 62,935 Mn, which remains closely aligned with the independent terminal-year bracket. **Arithmetic validation:** The 2032 forecast is computed as 52,050 x (1.0275)^7 = 62,935 after whole-number rounding. Historical and forecast YoY rates reconcile to the annual market-size series. All market-size values use the same USD Mn unit, and the same base and terminal values are used throughout the report. **Confidence assessment:** The final sizing carries an analytical uncertainty band of approximately plus or minus 10% around the base-year estimate because multinational operators do not consistently disclose Poland-only revenue and service-line allocations. Official road-freight, port and infrastructure metrics are treated as high-confidence anchors; commercial warehouse data and company-footprint proxies are medium-to-high confidence; private-company revenue allocation is medium confidence. The range is a model uncertainty assessment, not an official statistical confidence interval. **Scenario logic:** The base case assumes moderate cargo growth, continued warehouse absorption, stable EU market access and progressive TEN-T completion. A constrained case would be driven by weaker trade, transport-margin compression and excess warehouse capacity; an accelerated case would require stronger nearshoring, e-commerce intensity, automation-led productivity and faster multimodal investment. Scenario bands are used as internal stress tests while the report retains one consistent 2025-2032 headline forecast spine. ### Phase 3: Primary Research Coverage #### Scope Item / Segments Coverage spans the Poland Logistics and Warehousing Market value chain from freight transport and forwarding through warehousing, fulfilment and shipper demand. * Freight Carriers and Forwarders * Warehouse and Contract Logistics Operators * Parcel and E-Commerce Fulfilment Networks * Enterprise Shippers and Retailers #### Sample Size A target sample of 270 respondents is allocated across operating and buying segments to support robust planned coverage of the Poland Logistics and Warehousing Market. * Freight Carriers and Forwarders - 80 respondents (Transport Director, Freight Forwarding Manager) * Warehouse and Contract Logistics Operators - 70 respondents (Contract Logistics Director, Warehouse Operations Manager) * Parcel and E-Commerce Fulfilment Networks - 65 respondents (Last-Mile Director, Fulfilment Operations Manager) * Enterprise Shippers and Retailers - 55 respondents (Supply Chain Director, Logistics Procurement Manager) #### Validation and Triangulation The validation framework reconciles prospective respondent evidence with operating KPIs, company disclosures and national freight statistics across the Poland Logistics and Warehousing Market. * Cross-check service demand across shipper cohorts * Reconcile transport, warehouse and parcel value chains * Compare operational and strategic respondent evidence * Recalculate growth and terminal market values --- ## Frequently Asked Questions # CHAPTER 12 - FAQs #### Q: How large is the Poland Logistics and Warehousing Market in 2025? **A:** The Poland Logistics and Warehousing Market was worth USD 52,050 million in 2025. The figure reflects third-party freight transport, forwarding, warehousing and storage, courier-express-parcel and directly monetized value-added logistics services, while excluding in-house logistics cost centers. The estimate is anchored to a public 2025 freight and logistics market figure of USD 52.05 billion and cross-checked against warehouse, road-freight, port and company-universe indicators. The scale is consistent with Poland's position as the EU's largest road-freight performer. **Data used:** USD 52,050 million (2025); 368 billion tonne-km road freight (2024) **So what:** Poland is a large, mature logistics profit pool where network density and service integration matter more than simple greenfield market entry. #### Q: What is the forecast for the Poland Logistics and Warehousing Market through 2032? **A:** The market is projected to reach USD 62,935 million by 2032, representing a 2.75% CAGR over 2025-2032. The forecast assumes continued freight activity, warehouse absorption, e-commerce fulfilment and infrastructure improvements, offset by a more mature base and ongoing pressure on transport economics. The 2032 projection is close to an independent published terminal estimate of about USD 62.5 billion, providing an external reasonableness check. Growth is expected to favor forwarding, international parcels, automation-enabled fulfilment and specialized contract logistics. **Data used:** USD 62,935 million (2032); 2.75% CAGR (2025-2032) **So what:** Investors should prioritize service-mix upgrading and productivity rather than relying on broad market-volume expansion alone. #### Q: Where are the most attractive profit-pool shifts in Poland logistics? **A:** Profit pools are shifting toward integrated services that combine freight management, warehousing, fulfilment, automation and data visibility. InPost exceeded 28,000 parcel lockers in Poland in 2025, while DHL Supply Chain reported 35 digital deployments across its Polish warehouse network. These indicators show that high-value growth is moving toward technology-enabled fulfilment and dense last-mile networks. Healthcare and temperature-controlled logistics also offer differentiation because compliance, monitoring and handling intensity support stronger service economics than undifferentiated storage or spot transport. **Data used:** 28,000+ InPost lockers (2025); 35 DHL digital warehouse deployments (current network disclosure) **So what:** Operators need technology and specialized vertical capabilities to protect margins as baseline transport and storage services commoditize. #### Q: What is the biggest operating risk in the Poland Logistics and Warehousing Market? **A:** The central risk is margin compression from cyclical freight demand, regulatory complexity and capacity mismatches. Polish seaport cargo fell 8.9% in 2024 and merchandise exports declined 5.6%, showing that trade-linked logistics can weaken even when long-term infrastructure fundamentals remain favorable. At the same time, rapid warehouse development has increased the importance of site selection and tenant quality. Cross-border road operators also face EU Mobility Package compliance requirements that add scheduling and administrative complexity to international fleet economics. **Data used:** Seaport cargo -8.9% (2024); merchandise exports -5.6% (2024) **So what:** Resilient operators require diversified end-users, disciplined capacity commitments and strong route-level cost control. #### Q: How does Poland compare with nearby logistics markets? **A:** Poland is the second-largest market among the selected Germany, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and Hungary peer set by 2025 market value, behind Germany. Its operational weight is exceptional: Polish-registered vehicles generated 368 billion tonne-km of road freight in 2024 versus Germany's 281 billion, Czechia's 70 billion and Romania's 67 billion. Poland also had 36.6 million sqm of modern warehouse and logistics stock at end-2025. This combination creates scale advantages for groupage, cross-border trucking, fulfilment and regional distribution. **Data used:** USD 52,050 million market size (2025); 368 billion tonne-km road freight (2024) **So what:** Poland can function as a Central European distribution platform rather than only a domestic logistics market. #### Q: Which demand driver has the strongest structural impact on future logistics activity? **A:** E-commerce and omnichannel retail provide the clearest structural demand uplift because they increase parcel frequency, warehouse touchpoints, reverse flows and delivery-time requirements per unit of consumer spend. Internet transactions represented 9.1% of total Polish retail sales in 2025, with textiles, clothing and footwear at 25.2%. Warehouse leasing also reached 6.6 million sqm in 2025. Combined with manufacturing nearshoring and cross-border freight, this supports demand for fulfilment centers, parcel networks and integrated transport-management services through 2032. **Data used:** 9.1% online share of retail sales (2025); 6.6 million sqm warehouse take-up (2025) **So what:** Fulfilment, parcel and returns capabilities should remain priority investment areas for operators targeting above-market growth. #### Q: What does Poland's infrastructure pipeline mean for logistics strategy? **A:** Infrastructure investment broadens viable logistics nodes and reduces dependence on a small number of mature hubs. Poland had nearly 5,466 km of motorways and expressways at end-2025, while 116 road projects covering almost 1,373 km were under implementation. TEN-T policy targets the core network for completion by 2030, reinforcing the economics of corridor-linked warehousing, intermodal terminals and port-hinterland connections. The strategic implication is not simply faster transport, but a wider set of investable locations and more resilient multimodal routing options. **Data used:** 5,466 km high-speed roads (2025); 116 road projects covering nearly 1,373 km (2025) **So what:** Site selection should follow future corridor completion and multimodal connectivity, not only current warehouse clusters. --- ## Table of Contents # CHAPTER 14 - Table of Contents ### Market Report Structure Comprehensive coverage across three strategic phases, Market Assessment, Go-To-Market Strategy, and Survey, delivering end-to-end insights from market analysis and execution roadmap to customer demand validation. ## Market Assessment Phase Supply-side and competitive intelligence covering market sizing, segmentation, competitive dynamics, regulatory landscape, and future forecasts. ### 1.
