Warehouse market remains active in big five markets

At the beginning of 2025, Poland’s warehouse market remained active across the “Big Five” regions, despite signs of cooling. Warsaw leads in rents (€5.50–8.50/sqm/month) and supply (7.1m sqm), though it's facing oversupply in large-format space. Smaller units remain in demand, according to Avison Young, and incentives are rising. Upper Silesia (6.0m sqm) is driven by manufacturing, especially automotive, and benefits from nearshoring from CEE. Wrocław (5.2m sqm) sees high investor interest but faces power grid limitations.
It is growing as a South Korean battery manufacturing hub. Central Poland (5.0m sqm) is stabilising, with managed warehouse services emerging. Poznań (4.0m sqm) remains resilient amid rising vacancies, attracting nearshored manufacturing with competitive rents and incentives.
