Expler Logistics 2026: Logistics Conference in Poland

What is this article about?

The Polish warehouse and logistics sector is currently experiencing a historic transformation. According to the latest data from the first half of 2025, Poland’s total industrial stock has reached a staggering 36.03 million square metres—an area equivalent to roughly 36 square kilometres.

To put this scale into perspective: if every warehouse building in the country were placed side by side, they would cover 7% of Warsaw, 11% of Kraków, or 12% of Wrocław. This milestone is particularly significant because the Polish market has more than doubled in size since early 2019. Reflecting a six-year period of unprecedented expansion that has turned warehouses also into a strategic element of the country’s economic infrastructure, where operations on a wide extent are based on an IT system.

Recognizing that managing existing infrastructure, processes, IT systems for logistics and warehouses as a whole, is now just as critical as building new space, the industry is shifting its focus toward efficiency, not from yesterday.

A key response to these challenges will be the upcoming professional gathering in Kraków:

Event: Expler Logistics 2026
Date: September 16, 2026
Location: Hotel Lenart****, Wieliczka (near Cracow, Poland)

This event moves beyond theoretical discussion. Experts with 20 years of experience will translate market figures into actionable strategies. The conference will set the direction for modern warehouse operations. It will focus on leveraging AI and Lean Logistics to navigate the maturing Polish market.

Market Dynamics and Tenant Behavior

Despite a slight cooling from the peak growth years, the market remains remarkably vibrant. At the end of June 2025, the occupancy rate stood at 91.8%, signaling that demand for modern logistics space remains robust.

A notable shift has emerged in tenant strategies:

A Focus on Renewals: In Q2 2025 alone, 239 long-term leases were signed. While 132 of these were new contracts or expansions, the "gross take-up" was 2.13 times higher than the net take-up.

This gap shows that while renewals may be fewer in number, they involve much larger spaces. Major players now secure and extend their presence in current strategic locations, rather than moving.

Developers are showing no signs of slowing down, even as the national vacancy rate sits at 8.2%. Confidence in the long-term potential of the Polish market is underscored by the current construction pipeline.
