The article describes the influences of foreign direct investments (FDI) on the automotive industry in Poland. The data and indices provided in the work confirm the close relationships between FDI and the automotive industry. The author compares areas of activity of the automotive suppliers in Poland. The main aspects include finance and sales, HR, logistics, quality and production. The used measures allow us to compare the competitiveness of Polish and foreign suppliers. The article emphasizes the major strengths and weaknesses of the sector in Poland, which is ultimately a measure of the attractive the sector for FDI. The article includes results of research based on the author's questionnaires (with feed-backs from 147 Polish and foreign suppliers). The results illustrated in graphs present tendencies, where foreign suppliers are more competitive than their Polish counterparts. The research also shows a dualism in the Polish automotive industry. The final part provides an assessment of the perspectives for the automotive industry in Poland. Although competitors are developing rapidly in Central and Eastern Europe, China and India, Poland is still an exceptionally attractive country for FDI, mainly because of the positive attitude of workers, a large number of highly qualified specialists, participation in the EU market, a growing economy, a high standard of living and the development of suppliers based in Poland.
