HoReCa & Foodservice Market - Poland

مقدمة

Published estimates of the Polish HoReCa market vary with definition and sit on the order of EUR 10–17 billion, growing at a mid-to-high single-digit rate. One commonly cited sizing puts the total at about USD 10.0 billion for 2024 with a compound annual growth rate near 6.55%, while restaurants and takeaways alone are projected at roughly EUR 17 billion across some 50,000 outlets by 2026. Tourism is one of the structural tailwinds: Poland recorded roughly 16.9 million foreign tourist arrivals in the most recent year measured. Professional food distribution is controlled largely by delivered foodservice distributors — led by Bidfood Farutex, Chefs Culinar and Transgourmet Foodservice — together with the cash & carry operators Makro, Selgros and Eurocash. A useful feature for a foreign supplier is that several of the leading players are subsidiaries of large European groups (Bidcorp, Metro, Transgourmet/Coop, Chefs Culinar), so European supplier standards and documentation are already familiar on the buying side. This study covers market size and structure, the leading players, access requirements differentiated by supplier origin, and a directory of Polish importers and foodservice distributors.
