Poland’s manufacturing sector showed a further loss of momentum in February 2026, with the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI falling to 47.10 from 48.80 in January. The latest reading, released on 2 March 2026, keeps the index below the 50.0 threshold that separates expansion from contraction, signaling a deepening downturn in factory activity.
The February figure suggests that the tentative stabilization seen in January has not been sustained, as conditions in the sector deteriorated further. While detailed component data were not provided, the headline decline points to ongoing pressure on output and demand, underscoring a challenging backdrop for Poland’s industrial economy at the start of 2026. Investors and policymakers are likely to watch upcoming readings closely for signs of whether this weakening trend continues or begins to level off in the coming months.
