Poland’s S&P Global Manufacturing PMI fell to 47.1 in February 2026 from 48.8 in January, below the expected 49.2, signaling the sharpest deterioration in business conditions since August 2025. New orders contracted to its steepest pace in seven months, alongside renewed declines in employment and purchasing activity. Output also fell for a tenth straight month, though the pace of decline eased and was the slowest since November. Export orders continued to weaken but at a comparatively modest rate. Backlogs of work declined again, prompting firms to cut staff at the fastest rate since May 2024. Meanwhile, input cost inflation accelerated sharply to a 37-month high, largely reflecting higher raw material prices, particularly metals and wood products. Despite rising costs, weak demand limited firms’ ability to raise selling prices. Business confidence remained positive, supported by expectations of improved economic conditions and stronger demand over the coming year. source: S&P Global

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.

Polish Factory Downturn Deepens in December
Poland’s S&P Global Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.5 in December from 49.1 in November, marking the eighth consecutive month of contraction and the fastest decline since August. Output decreased at a quicker pace amid weaker new orders, particularly from German and French markets, while new export orders also declined. Employment and purchasing activity contracted only slightly, and stocks of purchases fell modestly.
