From the beginning of the past decade, Poland’s foreign trade turnover increased almost ten-fold. Poland exports processed fruit and vegetables, meat, dairy products, electromechanical products, vehicles, aircraft and vessels. Most of Poland's imports are capital goods needed for industrial retooling and for manufacturing inputs like machinery and transport equipment, chemicals, minerals, fuels and lubricants. European Union is by far its largest trading partner accounting for about 79% of exports and 64% of imports.

Latest Updates

Poland’s trade deficit widened to €1,443 million in May 2025 from €1,019 million in the same month of previous year, marking the 13th consecutive monthly deficit. Exports rose 4.2% year-on-year to €28.2 billion, driven by higher shipments of toys, clothing, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, and agricultural products. However, exports of consumer durables continued to decline. Imports rose 5.2% to €29.6 billion, driven by higher purchases of armaments, consumer goods, and agricultural products. However, the overall value of imports was partially offset by a steep decline in crude oil prices, which fell to their lowest level since September 2021 amid weak global demand and a weakening U.S. dollar.
