PSB distributor aims for 20 pct market share in building materials distribution within five years
Polish construction materials distributor PSB plans to achieve a 20 percent share of the building materials distribution market in Poland within five years through strategic investments in traditional and digital channels, expanding its network and strengthening its leadership position.
"Strategic investments and development in both traditional and digital channels are aimed at achieving a 20 percent share of the building materials distribution market in Poland within the next five years, which allows the PSB Group to strengthen its position as an industry leader," PSB announced.
The group announced plans to open 30 new PSB Mrowka stores and 15 modern PSB Profi building centers in 2025 to significantly increase network reach and market share.
They also highlighted ongoing renovations of existing facilities and the introduction of new business formats such as PSB Mrowka Express for smaller local markets and PSB Mrowka Deco focused on interior finishing and decoration.
PSB reported that alongside network expansion, it is conducting extensive acquisitions of existing companies in the construction sector to accelerate growth and market position.
"At the same time, work is underway on strategic alliances with other networks, which allows for further cost optimisation, better purchasing conditions and expansion of the product range," it added.
E-commerce development remains a key part of the strategy, with a marketplace platform enabling PSB partners to run individual online stores, allowing customer service regardless of physical store locations.
PSB plans to add 50 more outlets to its e-commerce system in 2025, bringing the total to about 300 stores selling online.
PSB noted the Polish building materials market is highly competitive, involving both domestic and foreign players.
"The increase in the number of competing chain stores in smaller towns means increased pressure on margins, the need to further strengthen customer relations, and intensification of marketing and investment activities," the report stated.
