Poland as a Key Hub for European Textile Sourcing
In 2023, the Polish textile and apparel sector generated 98.6 billion PLN in revenue, showing a stable CAGR exceeding 5%. Poland imports clothing worth approximately 14.9 billion EUR, while exporting products worth 12.7 billion EUR — this imbalance, combined with rising logistics costs from Asia and pressure to shorten supply chains (nearshoring), creates a significant opportunity for raw materials trade shows.
For exhibitors, this means access to a market where purchasing decisions encompass the entire cost structure—from raw materials, through logistics, to finishing and compliance.
