How many transport and logistics companies are there in Poland?

The number

39,156 active registered transport and logistics companies. That is the count in our Polish register snapshot as of August 2026, restricted to entities with an active status and a registered activity classification in this sector.

The figure counts registered legal entities. Counts that include sole traders operating under CEIDG run much higher, because a large share of Polish activity in every sector is carried out by one-person businesses that never appear in the company register.

Poland is the largest road freight nation in the European Union by tonne-kilometres performed, and the sector labelled TSL locally, transport, spedycja, logistyka, is one of the country's defining export industries. The register count understates its real size because a large part of the driver population operates as sole traders.

Where they are

Mazowieckie holds 27.5% of the sector, against 33.3% of the register as a whole, so the concentration here is lower than the national pattern.

The largest cities

Silesia is under-represented by city name because it is polycentric. A campaign targeting the region by naming Katowice will miss most of it, and the voivodeship table above is the better filter.

Revenue bands

Filed revenue is available for 18,351 of the 39,156 companies, from the most recent financial year on file, mostly 2022 to 2024. Figures are in Polish zloty.

46.9% of the sector has a filed figure, so revenue is usable as a filter on about half of the market. The companies without one skew smaller and younger, so filtering on revenue quietly biases a list towards established firms.

Website presence

4,717 of 39,156, or 12.0%, have a website in our data. The sector average across the whole Polish register is 21.9 percent.

That matters because most prospecting stacks begin 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 covers only the online slice of this sector and misses the rest.

New registrations

Companies registered in each year that are still active today.

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

What this means for targeting

Web presence is the defining constraint. At 12.0 percent this is the least online sector in the Polish register. Four in five haulage companies have no findable website, which is why buying a Polish transport list from a domain-based vendor returns a fraction of the market.

Revenue is the size proxy that works. 18,351 companies have a filed figure, and the jump from the 4,175 in the 500,000 to 2m band to the 2,741 in the 2m to 10m band is roughly where a haulier moves from a handful of trucks to a managed fleet, which is where telematics, fuel cards, insurance and driver staffing all become real purchases.

Pair the register with hiring data. A haulier advertising for drivers has capacity it cannot use, which is the single sharpest buying moment in the sector. Our German snapshot shows 7,058 employers advertising simultaneously, and the Polish pattern is the same.

How the count was made

The snapshot is built from Polish register data, deduplicated on registration number and filtered to entities with an active status. Sector is derived from the registered activity classification and grouped into the categories used across this site, so a company with mixed activity is assigned to its primary classification.

Revenue is the most recent filed figure available per company rather than a common year, so the bands describe the register as filed rather than a single accounting period. 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.
