Data on Polish businesses: official statistics in figures

Tables calculated from official statistics that we use to describe the market: the GUS REGON register by voivodeship and industry, and Eurostat business statistics for the EU. Each overview gives the source, the reference date, definitions and a suggested citation.

What applies to all overviews

Official statistics, not our database. The figures describe the market, not the number of records we can deliver. Our own Polish database (196,499 records, as of 17.09.2026) is described on the database status page.
Calculated, not typed in. Shares, ranks and quotients are calculated from the source figures when the site is built; each page shows the check it runs against the source totals.
The two sources describe different populations. REGON counts registered entities including agriculture, associations and public bodies; Eurostat counts enterprises in industry, construction and market services. Their figures must not be compared directly.
No conclusions about causes. The overviews show how things stand. Why a region or industry differs, they do not explain.

How to cite

You may use the figures with the source and reference date. Each overview has a suggested wording. For a different breakdown or a question about the method, write to info@b2bkontakty.pl.
