LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN CONFIDENCE INDEX 2024

Despite these challenges, opportunities for growth remain. These will be generated domestically, led by demand recovery and infrastructure development, but also by Poland’s role in cross-border trade.

The 2024 Index highlights a large increase in confidence amongst logistics operators, whilst optimism amongst manufacturers and retailers has remained similar to last year.

How Confident is the Logistics and Supply Chain Sector?

The 2024 Poland Logistics and Supply Chain Confidence Index is set at 52.2, its highest level for five years. It is also the first time since 2018/2019 edition that there was a breakthrough of the barrier of 50.0, which suggests that the sector is looking ahead with optimism, albeit at relatively low levels. The 2024 Index highlights a large increase in confidence amongst logistics operators – from 45.2 to 51.6, whilst optimism amongst manufacturers and retailers has remained similar to last year – with a minimal increase from 52.4 to 52.8. This is also the second consecutive edition when the manufacturers and retailers’ confidence is higher than the logistics operators.

This marginally e positive outlook is mirrored in other countries in Europe – out of all countries where Analytiqa is conducting Confidence Index research, only UK’s result is below the 50.0 barrier, although at the time of our publication, 2024 research has not yet been published. The 2024 Index illustrates that confidence levels remain positive. 2024 will continue to be characterised by inflation levels declining and an, economic rebound, although intense geo-political challenges will remain.
