Plastic shutters and blinds market in Poland

Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for plastic shutters and blinds in Poland expanded from 15 349 tonnes in 2018 to 20 145 tonnes in 2020. This growth was initially supported by a 20% rise in import volumes, signaling strengthening domestic demand. In 2019, a reported decline in regional production created an opportunity for Polish manufacturers to increase output, which helped sustain market supply. By 2020, growth momentum slowed, and the market stabilized just above the 20 000-tonne level.

In 2021, the market contracted sharply to 14 991 tonnes, a 25% drop from the previous year. This decline coincided with a substantial 27% surge in Polish exports to 10 794 tonnes, as European-wide export activity grew by 21%, diverting production away from the domestic market.

After 2021, Polish trade data shows exports remained high, surpassing 12 000 tonnes in 2022 and 2023 before declining to 11 625 tonnes in 2024. Imports into Poland fell after a 2021 peak, coinciding with reported peak import levels in the U.S. and European markets, which increased competition. By 2024, European market trends indicated stabilized production and a 3.2% rise in consumption, driven by growing demand for energy-efficient products, eco-friendly materials, and smart home integration in window coverings.
