The number of bankruptcies of Polish companies has increased. The worst is in construction and services
The latest statistics reveal a rise in bankruptcies among Polish companies, particularly in construction and services sectors, according to the Central Statistical Office.
Recent data from Poland's Central Statistical Office indicates a troubling increase in the number of bankruptcies among businesses in the country. Specifically, the last quarter of 2025 recorded 102 bankruptcies, up from 95 during the same time frame in 2024. This trend appears to be especially pronounced in the construction and services sectors, both of which saw a rise of seven bankruptcies each. Other affected sectors included information and communication, which had four more bankruptcies, and accommodation and gastronomy, which recorded an increase of two bankruptcies over the previous year.
In contrast to these troubling figures, some sectors experienced a decline in bankruptcies. The transport and warehouse economy saw a drop of seven bankruptcies, while the industrial sector recorded a decrease of three, as did the trade and vehicle repair industries. This divergence in trends suggests a complex economic landscape where while some industries are struggling significantly, others are finding a measure of stability or success amidst challenging market conditions.
The statistics also highlight a legal aspect, noting that limited liability companies formed the largest group of bankrupt businesses. This sharp contrast between the growth in certain sectors and declines in others points to economic challenges, particularly within the construction and service sectors, and raises questions about the future stability and sustainability of these industries within the Polish economy.
