The figure stood at 18.9% among medium-sized companies employing 50\u2013249 people and 15.8% among small companies with 10\u201349 employees.

Enterprises with foreign capital outsourced functions more frequently, at 22.8%, than companies with domestic capital, at 15.9%. Legal persons used outsourcing more often, at 18.2%, than natural persons, at 13.6%. By sector, external providers were used most often by companies in construction, 19.3%, and information and communication, 19.2%, and least often by businesses in accommodation and food services, 11.2%, as well as arts, entertainment and recreation, 11.6%.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_companies_keep_in-house\"><\/span>What companies keep in-house<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Regardless of whether certain tasks are outsourced, every enterprise performs at least one function internally.

Research and development and engineering, the most advanced functions, account for only a marginal share of human resources.

A similar gap is visible by ownership: entities with foreign capital carry out ICT in-house much more frequently, 31.3% versus 9.7%, and R&amp;D, 13.5% versus 4.7%, than domestically owned companies.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_outsourced_functions_go_abroad\"><\/span>Where outsourced functions go abroad<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>In the Polish model, outsourcing remains primarily domestic. Of the 10,286 companies outsourcing anything externally, 87.1% used only other domestic enterprises. A further 8.4% used both domestic and foreign entities, while only 4.5% used foreign providers exclusively. In total, 1,328 companies outsourced functions abroad.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"ceo-vc-callout\">\n  <p>Among enterprises outsourcing functions outside Poland, <strong>94.8%<\/strong> indicated a European country and <strong>87.0%<\/strong> identified a European Union member state.<\/p>\n  <p>The most common destination was <strong>Germany<\/strong>, cited by 43.6% of companies outsourcing abroad, ahead of Austria at 17.8% and France at 16.0%.

Domestic providers were most often entrusted with management, administration and production. Abroad, companies more frequently assigned specialised tasks in information and communication technologies, research and development, and marketing. Importantly, most functions outsourced outside Poland were performed by enterprises belonging to the same capital group, making this intra-corporate outsourcing rather than an opening to the external market. Companies with foreign capital accounted for 65.1% of all enterprises outsourcing functions abroad.<\/p>\n\n<p>Domestic geography also matters. Functions outside Poland were outsourced most often by companies in the Mazowieckie region, where 20.1% of outsourcing companies used foreign providers, followed by Opolskie at 14.7% and Zachodniopomorskie at 14.3%. The lowest shares were recorded in Lubelskie, 5.7%, and Warmi\u0144sko-Mazurskie, 5.9%.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"ceo-vc-takeaways\">\n  <h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_this_means_for_business\"><\/span>What this means for business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n  <ul>\n    <li>Polish companies remain highly vertically integrated: 83.1% perform all functions themselves, while the propensity to outsource has fallen further, by 1.9 percentage points year on year.<\/li>\n    <li>Outsourcing increases with company scale and foreign ownership: large entities and businesses with foreign capital outsource functions much more often than smaller, domestically owned firms.<\/li>\n    <li>Knowledge-intensive functions such as R&amp;D, ICT and engineering are both rarely performed internally and most likely to be directed abroad, mainly within companies\u2019 own capital groups.<\/li>\n    <li>When an assignment leaves the country, 87% of cases go to the European Union, with Germany remaining by far the most important destination.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"ceo-vc-source\">Source: Statistics Poland, \u201cDomestic Value Chains of Enterprises in 2024\u201d (publication dated 25 June 2026), based on the SP annual enterprise survey.
