Construction in Poland - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2023
Summary
The Polish construction industry regained growth momentum in 2018, with output expanding by 17.0% in real terms - up from 6.5% in 2017. Growth during the review period was supported by public and private sector investment in residential, industrial, commercial and transport infrastructure projects, leading to an increase in demand for the Polish construction industry.
The industry’s output value is expected to continue to expand in real terms over the forecast period (2019-2023), driven by the government’s plans to upgrade the country’s transport infrastructure. The government plans to invest PLN40.0 billion (US$11.1 billion) to develop a high-speed rail network and PLN35.0 billion (US$9.7 billion) to construct a new hub airport under the Central Communications Port (CCP) project by 2027. In addition, public and private sector investments in commercial, industrial and residential construction projects are expected to support growth in the industry over the forecast period. The government’s aim to improve energy resources is also expected to support investment in energy infrastructure projects, which will in turn fuel growth in the industry.
The industry’s output value in real terms is expected to post a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.61% over the forecast period. The industry is consequently expected to rise from a value of US$118.6 billion in 2018 to US$148.6 billion in 2023, measured at constant 2017 US dollar exchange rates.

Key Highlights
- Globaldata expects the infrastructure construction market to account for 32.5% of the industry’s total value in 2023. Market output over the forecast period is expected to be supported by the government’s plan to develop and modernize the country’s transport infrastructure.

The government aims to develop 3,900km of new motorways and expressways across the country by 2023.
- Industrial construction market’s growth over the forecast-period is expected to be driven by an increase in industrial and manufacturing activities, as well as positive developments in domestic and regional economic conditions. Poland’s strategic location in the center of Europe, economic stability, educated and competent human capital, favorable foreign investment policy and strong infrastructure transport links are expected to lead to a rise in investments, which will also drive growth in the industrial construction market over the forecast period.
- GlobalData expects the energy and utilities construction market to register a forecast-period CAGR of 7.55% in nominal terms, driven by the government’s focus on telecommunications infrastructure. The government aims to develop the country’s broadband network by 2020. The government aims to provide internet access to all citizens and equip 100% of households with an internet connection speed of 30Mbps and 50% of households with an internet connection speed of 100Mbps by 2020.
- Institutional construction market’s forecast-period growth will be driven by public and private sector investment in education and healthcare construction projects. In the 2019 draft budget, the government announced a plan to increase the central education budget by 6.6% to PLN46.0 billion (US$12.7 billion). To support the country’s healthcare and education sectors, the EIB approved PLN390.0 million (US$107.4 million) in the first quarter of 2019 to upgrade university hospitals in Lublin and Gdansk, which will support construction activity over the forecast period.
