Poland Logistics Outlook

The Poland Logistics Outlook is part of the Central and Eastern European Logistics series, which assesses the logistics industry, foreign trade, major industries affecting the logistics sector and the key logistics service providers. The reports also forecast the outlook for freight transportation and logistics across modes out to 2012 for each individual country.
Report Highlights

Poland is undergoing a transition from a “production only” base to a R&D centre. Increasing consumption levels, the government’s liberalization move and EU membership are attracting foreign investments; the development of new transport infrastructure is in turn spurning the development of regional logistics and warehousing clusters within Poland.
