How Many Companies Are There in Krakow? 41,636 Registered

The number

41,636 active registered companies with a Kraków address. That makes it the second largest Polish business city, though at less than a quarter of Warsaw's count.

Kraków is the clearest secondary technology cluster in the country and the only major Polish city where hospitality shows up in the top eight sectors, which is the tourism economy appearing in the register.

Kraków accounts for 5.7 percent of every registered company in Poland.

What these companies do

Sector	Companies	Share of the city
Professional Services	6,815	16.4%
Real Estate	5,474	13.1%
Uncategorised	3,899	9.4%
Construction and Trades	3,582	8.6%
Wholesale and Distribution	3,199	7.7%
IT and Software	3,124	7.5%
Manufacturing and Industry	2,855	6.9%
Food and Hospitality	2,441	5.9%

Sector is derived from the registered activity classification, so a company with mixed activity is assigned to its primary one. The uncategorised group covers entities whose filed classification is too generic to place.

Revenue bands

Filed revenue is available for 19,555 of the 41,636 companies, from the most recent financial year on file. Figures are in Polish zloty.

Revenue band	Companies	Share of those with revenue
Under 100,000 PLN	8,927	45.7%
100,000 to 500,000	4,968	25.4%
500,000 to 2m	3,422	17.5%
2m to 10m	1,684	8.6%
10m to 50m	466	2.4%
Over 50m	88	0.5%

47.0% of the city has a filed figure. The companies without one skew smaller and younger, so a revenue filter quietly biases the list towards established firms.

Website presence

9,643 of 41,636, or 23.2%, have a website in our data.

Most prospecting stacks start with a domain: find the company, find the site, guess the email pattern, verify it. Remove the site and the chain breaks at step one, so a domain-first workflow reaches only the online slice of the city.

New registrations

Companies registered in each year that are still active today.

Year	Still-active registrations
2021	3,158
2022	3,169
2023	3,088
2024	3,192
2025	3,246
2026 (to August)	1,729

The 2026 row covers January to August only. Because the population is restricted to companies still active today, older cohorts are understated by the firms that have since closed.

What this means for targeting

Technology and services are the addressable core. 6,815 professional services firms and 3,124 IT companies, most of them with genuine staff rather than holding structures, which is a cleaner list than the equivalent Warsaw slice.

The upper mid-market is small and workable. 554 companies turn over more than 10 million zloty. If that is your ICP, the entire Kraków market fits on one screen and is worth researching by hand.

Formation is flat at around 3,200 a year, so the newly registered cohort is predictable rather than growing.

How the count was made

The snapshot is built from Poland register data, deduplicated on registration number and filtered to entities with an active status. City is the registered address, so a company headquartered elsewhere with an operation in Kraków is not counted here, and a holding entity registered in Kraków with no local activity is.

Revenue is the most recent filed figure per company rather than a common year. Website presence means we hold a domain associated with the record, not that the site is live today.

Every figure on this page comes from one query against that snapshot.
