This year's Meble Polska, which took place in Poznań from 25-28th February, confirmed the show's place as one of Europe's leading furniture-sourcing fairs. Furniture buyers from more than 70 countries attended, and the share of visitors from abroad again exceeded half of those present (58%).
"This is the effect of an even broader and more intensive international promotional campaign than in previous years preceding the Meble Polska 2025 fair," says show director Józef Szyszka. "It focused on the most important and promising markets for Polish furniture exports.
"The furniture B2B event in Poznań was the first global trade fair in Europe at the beginning of the year. The visitor registration system shows that the whole world came to Poznań in search of business partners and collections for the new sales season."
Ultimately, the total number of fair participants amounted to 16,512 people, an increase of +15% YoY. The percentage of visitors from abroad increased by as much as +4% YoY, with buyers from 71 countries.
"Traditionally, apart from traders from Poland, the largest group were visitors from Germany, which for years has been the most important trading partner of the Polish furniture industry and where the largest part of Polish furniture exports goes," states the show organiser. "This year, German traders accounted for 16.1% of buyers from abroad. However, there were major changes on the further steps of the podium, which were last year taken by guests from the Czech Republic and Lithuania. This time, second and third place were taken by visitors from Ukraine (7.3%) and Romania (6%), respectively. The top 10 most frequently represented countries also included France, Lithuania, the Netherlands, the UK, the Czech Republic, Belgium and Slovakia."
Józef continues: "The Go Global strategy we have been pursuing for several years is bringing results. The Meble Polska brand has become widely recognisable in the furniture industry worldwide. As a result, the number of visitors from key markets for the development of Polish furniture exports, such as the US (an increase of +173% this year), India (+140%) and Israel (+189%), is also growing."
Meble Polska is the world's most comprehensive presentation of Polish-manufactured furniture, but international exhibitors are also increasingly looking for customers in Poznań, the show organiser adds – this year, the exhibition covered a total area of over 60,000 sqm in nine halls, with products from 378 companies from 17 countries. The furniture offer was complemented by fabrics and decorations in the concurrent Home Decor Exhibition.
The fair also served as a platform for specialist knowledge, thanks to lectures and training sessions prepared in co-operation with industry partners.
The show's next edition will take place as usual in the last week of February, from 24-27th February 2026.
