TSL Industry to Lose 13% of Workforce Soon

A shortage of workers is one of the biggest challenges facing the transport industry in Poland. 

"The industry must prepare for these changes now. The key will be investing in the development of current employees' skills, particularly in areas requiring specialized knowledge," Joanna Porath, President of AC Porath, commented.

The Polish labor market is facing a significant demographic challenge: by 2035, it could lose over 2.1 million workers, representing 12.6 percent of the current workforce. The situation in the TSL (Transport, Shipping, and Logistics) sector will be especially difficult, with a predicted loss of approximately 148,000 workers in transport alone—over 13 percent of the current workforce in this industry.

"One area requiring skill development among current employees is customs clearance, which demands both knowledge of regulations and the ability to work effectively with specialized entities," Joanna Porath added.
