Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for woven silk shawls and scarves in Poland declined from 185.4 thousand units in 2018 to 138.0 thousand units in 2020, a reduction of over 25%. In value terms, the market contracted from 2.4 million US dollars to 1.5 million US dollars over the same three-year period, with domestic production and trade flows also falling notably by 2020.

After 2020, import volumes recovered, reaching 247.8 thousand units in 2022 before settling at 230.1 thousand units in 2024. Export volumes, however, continued a steady descent from 130.7 thousand units in 2021 to 96.8 thousand units in 2024. The value of imports rose consistently, surpassing 4.3 million US dollars in 2024, while export values showed greater volatility.

Activities supporting sericulture in Poland, including the breeding of mulberry silkworm races and hybrids, alongside efforts to promote innovation and public education, may influence the foundation for local silk production and the broader market for silk goods in the future.
