Poland's manufacturing sector continued to face challenges as the S&P Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell further in December. The latest data, updated on January 2, 2026, reveals that the PMI has decreased to 48.50, down from November's reading of 49.10. This marks another month below the critical 50.0 threshold, indicating ongoing contraction within the sector.

The persistent decline in the PMI suggests that Poland's manufacturers are grappling with a range of headwinds, perhaps including dwindling orders, supply chain disruptions, and slowing domestic and global demand. The shift of 0.60 points from November to December underscores the challenges faced by the industry, which is key to Poland's economic health.

Economic analysts and stakeholders will now be closely watching for signs of stabilizing or reversal in upcoming reports, as this contractionary trend could have broader implications for growth prospects within Poland and potentially influence policymaking and business strategies moving forward.
