Amazon to invest €5 billion in Poland
Amazon is committing €5B in Poland between 2026-2028, adding a new fulfillment center in Dobromierz (Lower Silesia) and doubling down on Amazon.pl five years after launch — making Poland one of the most aggressively funded Amazon markets in Europe right now. This investment follows €10B already deployed in Poland since 2012, signaling this is not exploratory spend but infrastructure maturation. Poland ranks 20th globally by GDP and is IMF-forecast to hold that position through 2026, giving Amazon a stable, growing consumer base with rising purchasing power. For sellers, this means Prime penetration, same-day/next-day delivery coverage, and ad inventory in Poland are all about to scale materially over the next 24-36 months.
The non-obvious play is advertising cost trajectory: Amazon. pl is still in the land-grab phase where CPCs are structurally lower than Amazon. de or Amazon. fr, but that window closes fast once FC density improves conversion rates and pulls in more native Polish and EU advertisers.
Any €10M+ seller with a pan-European catalog who is not already indexing on Amazon. pl is handing early-mover ACOS advantages to competitors who will lock in review velocity, BSR position, and keyword rank before the ad auction gets crowded.
The €5B commitment also signals Amazon is serious about Prime Video local productions in Poland — a Prime membership growth lever that historically accelerates paid conversion rates across all categories. Sellers who build Polish language listings, localized A+ content, and PL-specific promotions NOW will own the algorithm when the infrastructure catches up.
This is part of Amazon's deliberate playbook of sequencing EU market development: build logistics infrastructure first, grow Prime membership second, then monetize through advertising — the same arc played out in Germany, France, and Italy.
Poland's investment signals Europe's eastern tier (PL, CZ, RO adjacencies) is the next growth frontier as Western EU markets hit saturation on Prime household penetration.
For 2026 marketplace operators, this is a reminder that platform consolidation in Europe is accelerating — Amazon is not ceding ground to Allegro, Zalando, or emerging TikTok Shop EU expansion, it is preemptively locking in logistics moats and consumer trust in the highest-growth EU economies before the competitive window closes.
Open Seller Central this week and run the 'Business Reports > By ASIN' export filtered to amazon.pl — if your EU catalog has zero Polish sessions in the last 30 days, prioritize the top 20 ASINs by EU revenue for immediate PL listing activation and Polish-language copy localization before Q3 2026 FC capacity expansion drives Prime eligibility.
On Monday, set up a Sponsored Products campaign on Amazon.pl with a €500/month test budget on your top 5 EU ASINs — target Polish-language exact and broad match keywords using Helium 10 or DataDive PL locale data; benchmark your ACOS now so you have a pre-infrastructure-investment baseline to compare against Q4 2026 when CPCs will likely rise 20-40% as new advertisers enter.
In the next 30-60 days, audit your FBA Pan-European enrollment settings to ensure your inventory is opted into Polish FC placement — Amazon's new Dobromierz FC will directly improve Prime badge eligibility and delivery speed for PL customers, and sellers already in Pan-EU FBA will automatically benefit from the logistics upgrade while late movers will face a fulfillment disadvantage during the FC ramp.

The announcement coincides with the 5th anniversary of Amazon. pl. Over the past decade, Poland has risen from 24th to 20th place among the world’s largest economies — and according to IMF forecasts, it is set to maintain this position in 2026. This progress also reflects a consistent inflow of foreign direct investment.
Poland remains a strategic location for Amazon’s continued growth in Europe: since 2012, Amazon has invested over EUR 10 billion in the country — in infrastructure, jobs, support for Polish SMEs, and the development of advanced technologies. From a European perspective, Poland stands out significantly.
It combines impressive economic growth, advanced technology, and entrepreneurs ready to compete on a global stage. That is why we are announcing our next investments here of over EUR 5 billion between 2026 and 2028. Poland is already one of the world’s 20 largest economies, and Amazon intends to play an active role in strengthening that position.
– Mariangela Marseglia, Vice President, Amazon European Stores. Poles know exactly what they expect from online shopping: convenience, safety, and the confidence that returns will be hassle-free when needed. We take these expectations seriously.
We invest in logistics infrastructure, prioritise the safety of every transaction, and offer one of the most comprehensive shopping and entertainment memberships in Poland. Because consumer trust is not built with a single decision, it is earned with every order.
Poland is a priority for Amazon, and we want our customers to feel that: with every delivery, and with every local Prime Video production. – Katarzyna Ciechanowska-Ciosk, Country Manager, Amazon. pl.
