Polish music market growth and domestic performance

Overview

The Polish music market has demonstrated significant growth and a strong domestic presence throughout the first half of 2026. Data from the Polish Association of Audio Video Producers (ZPAV) indicates that domestic artists have dominated both radio airplay and streaming services. In the streaming sector, Polish performers occupied all ten positions in the Top 10 OLiS Single in Stream, and 79 of the top 100 most streamed tracks were by Polish artists.

Market analysis shows that the Polish music market is expanding at a rate nearly three times faster than the European Union average. During the first half of 2026, the market reached 515.7 million PLN, representing a 13.9% year-on-year increase. While digital formats drove 429.7 million PLN in revenue, physical media also experienced a notable surge. Total physical revenue rose by 25.65% year-on-year, fueled by a 46.3% increase in vinyl sales, which nearly equaled CD sales.
