Polish export hits in the first quarter were lithium -ion batteries, freight vehicles and cigarettes – informed the Polish Economic Institute.
Pie said that At the beginning of 2025, Poland was the 7th largest product exporter in the EU and 6. The largest supplier of goods in the EU itself. In 195 product categories, Poland was a leading exporter. Currently in the top five EU exporters in the case of 1544 products.
“This means that it is one of the key exporters in about a quarter of all product categories,” Pie wrote.
According to Pie, Polish export hits in the first quarter of 2025 were still batteries lithium-ion, vehicles for transporting goods and cigarettes.
“Poor demand in the EU and changes in market conditions, however, affected declines in all these categories,” it was written.
It has been added that the export of lithium-ion batteries reached EUR 1.38 billion and fallen by more than 6 percent, which is a deepening of the breakdown of exports, which occurred in 2024. Still, Poland maintains the position of a leader in the EU with a 20 % share in the total EU export in this category. At the same time, the export of batteries throughout the EU increased by 3 percent, mainly due to the increased activity of the Czech Republic and the Netherlands, while other leading producers, e.g. Hungary (leader from 2024) and the Germans, also recorded declines.
In turn, the export of vehicles for transporting goods fell by 25 percent. against a 17 % inheritance throughout the EU. Poland is currently in 4th place in the Union, with the participation of about 15 percent. total EU exports worth EUR 1.1 billion. In 2024, Poland was responsible for about 7 percent. global exports in this category, continuing the inheritance trend of 2023. Like Germany, while the position was strengthened, among others Mexico.
According to Pie Poland maintains the 1st place in the Union in the export of cigarettes with over 30 % share in the complete export of the EU, despite a decrease of 6 %. Compared to the first quarter of 2024.
The lower value of exports may be associated with a global decline in demand, which was observed in 2024.
Television exports (by 8 percent) also fell, despite maintaining the 1st EU item with a 30 % share.
Inhibition of growth dynamics in the automotive industry, especially in Germany, influenced supply chains and lower export values from Poland from other Polish hits from the vehicle part sector, including body elements.
Pie stated that despite the difficult situation of the international environment in the first quarter of 2025, Polish exports maintained the level of last year, and in some categories there was an increase.
The export of digital machines for data processing increased by 30 percent. in the first quarter of 2025 and reached EUR 0.81 billion. Poland dominates in the EU in this category with the participation of over 55 percent. total exports of the Union. While the export of these machines throughout the EU increased by only 2 percent, Poland strengthened its position on this market. On a global scale in 2024, only Taiwan and the USA overtook it, and the Polish share in world trade was 14 percent.
The export of steel structures, parts of jet engines and medicines also increased significantly, which places Poland in 1st, 2nd and 14th place in the EU, respectively.
According to PI, the increase in these categories amounted to about 12 percent. And it is part of the pan -European trend resulting from the increased demand for these products.
In the food sector, the export of fresh/cooled parts of poultry increased by 18 % to EUR 0.65 billion. Poland was a leader in the export of this category with a 35 % share in EU exports. (PAP Biznes)
