Poland — Regional Market index
The Poland regional market index ranks the 16 Polish entries in the Top 400 Regional Markets — Europe list. Each entry is a named suburb or satellite municipality between 15 and 80 kilometres of a major Polish metropolitan reference point that contains at least one retail co-location cluster, screened and scored under the co-location regional market framework. This page is a filtered, Poland-specific view of that continental table — not a separate dataset — so every rank, score, and tier count below matches the continental table exactly and updates automatically if that table is corrected.
Metropolitan groupings
Poland's 16 markets cluster most heavily around Katowice (4 markets), reflecting the density of the Upper Silesian Industrial Region's suburban belt — the same regional cluster that anchors Bielsko-Biała, one of Poland's highest-scoring entries. Kraków (3) and Gdańsk (2) form a second tier. The remaining markets are single entries reporting to Kielce, Bydgoszcz, Łódź, Gliwice, Warsaw, Wrocław, and Łomża.
Score distribution
Bielsko-Biała (suburb of Katowice, score 12.0) is Poland's highest-scoring entry — two Tier 1 clusters with a civic anchor — followed by Radom (suburb of Kielce, score 10.5, a rare T1+T2+T3 combination with a civic anchor). Toruń and Częstochowa both score 9.0 on a Tier 1 + Tier 2 combination. Most of Poland's remaining entries score 6.0 on a single Tier 1 cluster, and Gdynia and Nowy Sącz score 4.5 on a Tier 2+Tier 3 combination. Poczesna and Rumia are Poland's lowest-ranked entries at 4.0.
