amazon to invest euro5 billion in poland as e-commerce market continues to expand

Amazon is planning to invest more than €5 billion in Poland between 2026 and 2028, reinforcing its long-term commitment to one of Europe’s fastest-growing e-commerce markets. The investment comes on top of the over €10 billion the company has already invested in the country since 2012, covering infrastructure, logistics, and support for local businesses.

The move highlights Poland’s growing importance in Amazon’s European strategy. As one of the region’s largest and fastest-developing economies, the country continues to attract major investments from global tech and e-commerce players.

Poland Emerges as a Key E-Commerce Hub

E-commerce in Poland has been expanding steadily, with online sales reaching approximately €21.5 billion in 2025, reflecting a 6.8% annual increase. Growth is expected to continue, with projections pointing to further expansion in 2026.

Consumer behavior is also shifting rapidly. Around 75% of Polish consumers shop online at least once a month, while 71% report feeling safer using online marketplaces, indicating growing trust in digital commerce platforms.

These trends are positioning Poland as a strategic market not only for domestic growth but also for cross-border e-commerce across Europe.

Logistics Expansion at the Core of Investment

A significant portion of Amazon’s new investment will focus on expanding its logistics network. The company plans to open a new 200,000-square-meter fulfillment center in Dobromierz, equipped with advanced automation and more than 5,000 robots.

With this addition, Amazon will further strengthen its operational footprint in Poland, where it already operates multiple fulfillment centers. The expansion aims to improve delivery speed, efficiency, and overall customer experience.

In addition to infrastructure, Amazon is also investing in localized solutions, including payment methods and services tailored to Polish consumers, signaling a deeper integration into the local market.

Competition and Market Position

While Amazon continues to scale in Poland, it still faces strong competition from local marketplace leader Allegro. Despite entering the market in 2021, Amazon has rapidly established itself as a key player, supported by continuous investments and infrastructure development.

The company’s strategy focuses not only on growth but also on strengthening Poland’s role in the broader European e-commerce ecosystem.

Amazon’s €5 billion investment signals more than just expansion – it reflects a long-term bet on Poland’s digital economy. As e-commerce adoption continues to rise and logistics capabilities improve, the country is increasingly becoming a central hub for online retail in Europe.
