The macroeconomic situation and changes in market regulation in recent years have had an adverse effect on Poland’s transport sector. According to the latest data, the number of transport company bankruptcies in Poland in Q1–Q3 2025 rose to 702, which is a 10% increase over the same period in 2024.
The transport sector is sensitive to changes in the industrial sector. Despite having one of the highest rates of economic growth in the European Union, Poland’s industry and construction remain stagnant.
Poland’s share of the total EU freight traffic remains dominant at around 20%. The pessimism that pervades the EU manufacturing sector is reflected in the level of demand for transport services.
Several factors could contribute to improving the situation. The eurozone industry is expected to recover from 2026 onwards, particularly in Germany, where increased government spending on infrastructure projects is expected to provide additional momentum. Wage growth has also slowed down, which should reduce operating costs in the transport sector. Combined with lower interest rates, these factors are expected to lead to a gradual improvement in the transport industry over the next year.
