Poland Manufacturing PMI
The S&P Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index measures the performance of the manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of 200 manufacturing companies. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index is based on five individual indexes with the following weights: New Orders (30 percent), Output (25 percent), Employment (20 percent), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15 percent) and Stock of Items Purchased (10 percent), with the Delivery Times index inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction. A reading above 50 indicates an expansion of the manufacturing sector compared to the previous month; below 50 represents a contraction; while 50 indicates no change.

Poland Manufacturing Downturn Deepens in August
Poland's S&P Global Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.3 in August 2026 from 49.0 in July, missing forecasts for a rise to 49.6 and signaling a steeper deterioration in factory activity.

New export orders also fell for a ninth consecutive month, albeit modestly. Employment declined after rising in July, while purchasing activity fell for the sixth time this year. Supplier delivery times lengthened at their fastest pace since June 2022 amid production delays and transport issues.
