The Polish warehouse market found itself at an interesting juncture in 2026.

Demand for modern warehouse and logistics space remains high, while developers are taking a more cautious approach to launching new projects. At the same time, a significant portion of the space currently under construction already has future tenants lined up.

For companies planning to expand, this means that finding a suitable warehouse for rent in a good location may require planning further in advance in the coming quarters.

In this article, you’ll learn:

• What the state of the warehouse market in Poland looks like: You’ll discover current data on supply, demand, and total warehouse space.
• Why the availability of new warehouses is declining: You’ll understand the reasons behind the slowdown in new speculative investments and the high level of pre-leasing.
• Who has generated the greatest demand: You’ll find out which industries are competing most aggressively for available logistics and manufacturing space.
• Why Western Poland is becoming a key hub: You’ll discover the strategic advantages of the A2 and S3 transportation corridors, as well as specific BTS Development projects in Świebodzin, Zielona Góra, Gorzów Wielkopolski, and Poznań.
• How to secure space for your business: You’ll learn why planning leases further in advance is becoming critical for operational continuity.

38 million m² of warehouse space, but new supply is slowing down

According to CBRE, by the end of the second quarter of 2026, the stock of modern warehouse and logistics space in Poland reached approximately 38 million m², up 5.5% from a year earlier.

In the first half of the year, over 1.23 million m² of new space was delivered, while approximately 1.3 million m² remained under construction. Crucially, over 60% of the space under construction already has secured tenants.

This means that only a portion of the warehouses currently under construction will enter the open market. At the same time, developers are limiting the number of speculative projects started without prior lease agreements.

Demand for warehouses remains high

On the other side of the market are companies requiring increasingly larger spaces.

In the second quarter of 2026, logistics, transportation, and distribution accounted for 46% of the demand for warehouse space. Retail generated 27%, and manufacturing 18%.

This means that logistics operators, e-commerce firms, retailers, distributors, and manufacturing companies are all competing for modern warehouses.

Another factor is the growing interest in Poland from foreign companies. Among the visible market trends is the expansion of e-commerce, including companies with Chinese capital, for which Poland can serve as a logistics hub for further distribution of products to European markets.

Which industries lease warehouses in Poland?

Will there be fewer available warehouses?

This does not mean that Poland is running out of warehouses. What is more important is the shift in the relationship between demand, available space, and the number of new developments.

If demand remains high and developers continue to proceed cautiously with new projects, the selection of modern facilities in prime locations may become limited.

This particularly applies to companies seeking several thousand square meters in a specific location, with an adequate number of loading docks, parking spaces, maneuvering areas, or facilities supporting production operations.

This may also mean gradual upward pressure on rents in the most attractive facilities. With limited supply, competition among property owners decreases, while landlords’ bargaining power increases.

Western Poland with Enormous Potential

Against the backdrop of market changes, Western Poland looks particularly promising.

The A2 highway and the S3 expressway form two strategic transportation corridors. Added to this is the proximity to the German border and access to the ports in Szczecin and Świnoujście.

The region can therefore serve as a logistics hub for logistics, e-commerce, and manufacturing serving both Poland and the markets of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe.

It is here that BTS Development is developing warehouse and manufacturing projects in Świebodzin, Zielona Góra, Gorzów Wielkopolski, and Poznań.

Świebodzin – Warehouses Along the A2 Highway and S3 Road

One of the most important locations is Świebodzin, situated at the intersection of the A2 and S3.

The BTS Park Świebodzin VI, currently under construction, is a warehouse and production facility with an area of approximately 24,000 m², which can be divided into modules.

The location allows for efficient transportation planning both toward Poznań and central Poland, as well as toward Germany and along the north–south axis. The modular design, meanwhile, allows the leased space to be tailored to the scale of a company’s operations.

Good to know:

The construction of a modern warehouse or production facility takes many months, and the supply of available space entering the open market is shrinking rapidly.

Failure to act well in advance carries the risk of losing access to key transportation corridors (e.g., the A2 and S3) and higher rental costs resulting from landlords’ growing bargaining power.

Zielona Góra – 10,000 m² for logistics and manufacturing

The second project is BTS Park Zielona Góra I, with an area of 10,000 m², located in Płoty near Zielona Góra.

The facility can be used by companies engaged in warehousing, services, and manufacturing. Access to the S3 provides good connections both to the rest of western Poland and to Germany.

The projects in Świebodzin and Zielona Góra are currently in the final stages of development, and their completion is scheduled for September 2026.

Who stands to benefit from the market shift?

New warehouse space cannot be created in a matter of weeks. Months pass from the preparation of the investment, through the design and administrative procedures, to the construction and completion of the facility.

Therefore, with high demand and a limited number of new projects underway, companies that planned the construction and commercialization of new warehouse and logistics space well in advance may gain a competitive edge.

BTS Development is already carrying out projects in Świebodzin and Zielona Góra, and the next additions to its portfolio are BTS Park Gorzów Wielkopolski and BTS Park Poznań West.

If the current market trend continues, the most important question will not concern the total number of warehouses in Poland, but rather how much modern space in suitable locations will actually be available to new tenants.

In such a market environment, investors who are already building and leasing the space that companies will need in the coming years may find themselves in the best position.

In summary:

• Market situation: The stock of modern warehouses in Poland reached 38 million m² (+5.5% y/y). Developers are more cautious about launching new speculative projects.
• High pre-leasing: Over 60% of the approximately 1.3 million m² of space under construction already has secured tenants.
• Demand structure: Logistics and transportation (46%), retail/e-commerce (27%), and manufacturing (18%) dominate. Further growth is driven, among other factors, by Asian capital.
• Conclusion and trend: Limited available supply will lead to upward pressure on rents and force companies to reserve units earlier.
• Growth region: Western Poland (A2/S3) is becoming the main logistics hub for Western Europe (BTS Development’s investments in Świebodzin and Zielona Góra, scheduled for completion in September 2026).
