Poland Chemical Sector Report 2025-2026

Poland's chemicals, and rubber and plastics sector reflects a dynamic and increasingly complex industrial landscape. The chemical industry remains a cornerstone of the country's processing sector and a vital pillar of the national economic system. According to the Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry, the value of sold production in the chemical industry exceeded EUR 100bn in 2024, representing 17.3% of total industrial output. However, the sector is experiencing a concerning slowdown in its growth trajectory following a brief post-pandemic rebound, with its share declining from 18% in 2023.
