Surge in Imported Vehicles Signals Strong Market Growth in Poland

The influx of used passenger cars and delivery vans into Poland soared by 37.4% in November compared to the previous year, hitting a total of 79,180 units, as reported by IBRM Samar. This marks the eighth consecutive month of rising imports, possibly indicating increased availability of vehicles abroad. Projections for 2024 estimate imports to reach between 870,000 to 900,000 units.

The majority of imports consist of passenger cars, seeing a notable increase of 30.6% compared to the previous year, while commercial vehicle imports surged by 34.7%. Notably, the average age of imported cars slightly decreased, largely influenced by passenger cars with petrol engines.

Leading the import rankings are Germany for passenger cars and France for commercial vehicles. The list of top importing countries reveals substantial growth rates across the board, with the United States and Canada showing remarkable increases of 79.6% and 55.4% respectively.
