Poland ranks ninth at 5.98, with the EU27's highest Sovereign Browser share at 26.00% — Polish desktop users are the most Firefox+Opera-oriented in the union. Combined with good .pl hosting (raw 0.54), Poland has solid grassroots and private-sector pillars. The weakness is developer density (2.46).
Strengths
- Highest Sovereign Browser share in the EU — 26.00% Firefox + Opera, edging out Germany. Polish desktop users have the most non-US browser preferences.
- Strong private-sector hosting —
.plraw rating 0.54, with major Polish hosters (home.pl, Atman, OVHcloud Warsaw) well-represented. - Linux desktop share of 3.57% — at the EU27 mean.
Weaknesses
- Low per-capita developer density — 2.53; Poland has many developers in absolute terms but the per-capita ratio is mid-pack.
- Public Sector Health at 6.67 — below the perfect-10 cluster.
Outlook
Poland is one of the more notable grassroots stories in the EU — the cultural preference for non-US browsers is unusually strong. The economic-development question is whether that grassroots culture can translate into domestic SaaS / cloud growth.
Historical context
2020 baseline
In 2020, Poland was an "emerging" nation with a significant split between its geopolitical posture and its domestic software policies. It had a strong strategic agenda but an underdeveloped formal open source policy framework.
2024 progression
Poland still lacks a dedicated governmental body for promoting OSS. However, the 2021 Law on open data allows agencies to open-source publicly funded software. Initiatives are emerging in specific sectors, like the e-Health Centre's preference for open-source solutions.
