The retail sale via stalls and markets sector in Poland has shown a significant decline over the past decade, and this trend is projected to continue. The value stood at 2.63 Billion Zloty in 2023. Actual data from previous years indicate fluctuating turnover with notable declines in recent years. Specifically, from 2021 to 2023, the sector experienced annual decreases of 27.6%, 6.06%, and 8.09%, respectively. On average, the turnover shrank by -10.21% per year over the last five years. Forecasts predict a continual decrease, with a five-year CAGR of -12.67%, resulting in a near halving of the sector's value by 2028.
Future trends to watch for include the growing shift towards e-commerce, changing consumer behaviors, and potential impacts of economic policies or global market fluctuations that could either mitigate or exacerbate the downturn in traditional retail via stalls and markets.
