Poland’s retail sector gained modest momentum in September 2026, with year-over-year sales growth reaching 6.7%, according to the latest data updated on 22 October 2026. This marks a slight acceleration from August 2026, when retail sales rose 6.4% compared with the same month a year earlier.
Both figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, meaning September’s 6.7% reading reflects the change versus September 2025, while August’s 6.4% compares to August 2025. The uptick suggests a gradual strengthening in consumer activity as the third quarter progressed, indicating that household spending continued to expand rather than lose steam heading into the autumn period.
The back-to-back positive readings highlight a retail environment that remains in growth territory, with September’s improvement hinting at a potentially firmer demand backdrop for Polish retailers in the closing months of 2026. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming data closely to see whether this upward trend in consumption proves sustainable.
