Poland Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (Q1 2025)
Summary
Following a decline in real terms of 5.7% in 2024, the construction industry in Poland is expected to grow by 2.4% in 2025, owing to investments in the transport and renewable energy sectors, coupled with a recovery in residential building permits. According to Eurostat, the construction production index grew by 4.4% YoY in January 2025, with building construction activities and civil engineering works rising by 7.2% and 1.8%, respectively, over the same period. According to Statistics Poland (GUS), the total number of residential building permits issued grew by 20.3% in 2024, preceded by an annual decline of 19% in 2023.
The construction industry is expected to record an average annual growth of 4% from 2026 to 2029, supported by investments in the country’s transport, housing, manufacturing and renewable energy infrastructure. Growth will be supported by the implementation of the National Road Construction Program 2030, which includes a target to build 8,000km of modern roads across the country by 2030. In a recent boost to the transport infrastructure sector output, the Polish government announced a plan in February 2025 to invest PLN174.3 billion ($43.1 billion) in railway infrastructure by 2032. Growth over the forecast period will further be supported by the government’s target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2030, compared to 2015 levels and reach net zero by 2050. To achieve this target, the government is aiming to establish 5.9GW of offshore wind capacity across eight projects by 2030 and 11GW by 2040. The German multinational energy company, RWE reported in January 2025 that it had secured 31 solar projects, with a total capacity 102MWdc, in the latest renewables auction held by Poland’s energy regulator, Urząd Regulacji Energetyki (URE).
