Wound care in Poland stands out within Eastern Europe, registering a 4% increase in retail value to PLN222 million and modest volume growth of 0.3% in 2026, in contrast to the flat or declining trends observed elsewhere in the region. This growth is bolstered by ongoing economic recovery, stable inflation and a shift in consumer preferences toward higher value and functionally differentiated products, even as the population contracts. The landscape is increasingly shaped by the rapid rise of e-commerce, which is forecast to expand by 11% in 2026, as well as the intensification of competition from health and beauty specialists and discounters, eroding the dominance of pharmacies. The expanding prominence of private label, innovation in formats and a move towards products tailored to active lifestyles have further elevated the value growth of wound care, making it an attractive environment for brands willing to invest in innovation and the ability to meet evolving consumer demands.
