Shopee to shut its Poland operations today

Jan 13, 2023Updated May 30, 20251 min read

Southeast Asia’s largest e-commerce firm Shopee will close its Polish operations from the end of Friday, Shopee Polska announced on its website on Thursday.

“The fact itself is perhaps not a big surprise, since Shopee has already withdrawn from some of its markets, and a few months ago it cut some of its jobs in Poland, so the expectations were rather that they will leave the Polish market as well”, said Wood&Co analyst Lukasz Wachelko.

Shopee has been operating in Poland since the autumn of 2021.
