Pharma and life sciences: a national picture

GUS counted 118 pharmaceutical producers with ten or more staff, 14 of them with 500 or more. Chemicals employed another 89,200. GUS does not break pharmaceutical employment down by voivodeship in its industry yearbook, so this page does not rank regions for pharma. A pharma list can still be scoped to any voivodeship.
