CHAPTER 1 - MARKET SUMMARY
Market Overview
The Poland Construction Market is supported by residential development, public infrastructure and private non-residential investment. Poland completed 208.8 thousand dwellings in 2025, 4.3% more than in 2024. However, residential permits declined 8.8% and housing starts fell 9.2%, indicating that current completions remain stronger than the forward residential pipeline and shifting contractor attention toward infrastructure and renovation.
Construction activity is concentrated around Warsaw and Mazowieckie, the country's largest corporate, logistics and public-investment hub, while major transport corridors extend demand toward Silesia, Wielkopolskie, Lower Silesia and the Baltic coast. Nationally, real construction gross value added increased 1.7% in 2025 after declining 5.8% in 2024, signaling a recovery in execution volumes after a difficult contracting cycle.

Future Outlook
The Poland Construction Market is projected to move from USD 95,980 million in 2025 to USD 129,232 million in 2031 and USD 135,047 million in 2032. The market expanded at an estimated 7.10% CAGR during 2020-2025, supported by construction-price inflation, housing delivery, industrial investment and transport projects. Forecast value growth is expected to normalize as inflation moderates, while underlying real activity strengthens through EU-funded infrastructure execution. A 5.00% CAGR for 2025-2032 implies progressively larger annual additions to industry revenue despite a slower percentage growth rate than the historical period.
Transport infrastructure, rail modernization, energy networks, renovation and specialized non-residential work are expected to capture a rising share of incremental construction spending. The approximately PLN 180 billion rail-investment envelope through 2032 and PLN 131.7 billion CPK program create long-duration opportunities for contractors with engineering, procurement and project-management capabilities. Residential construction remains strategically important but is likely to be more cyclical because 2025 permits and starts fell 8.8% and 9.2%, respectively. Consequently, contractors with diversified exposure to civil engineering, energy-efficient retrofits and public procurement should be better positioned to sustain backlog quality and operating utilization.

Dwellings Completed
208.8 thousand units, 2025, Poland. Completions rose 4.3%, supporting near-term residential contractor revenue, but permits and starts fell 8.8% and 9.2%. This points to softer forward new-build demand unless financing and project launches improve.
Construction Price Change
3.6%, December 2025, Poland. Year-on-year construction and assembly prices remained positive, making escalation clauses, procurement discipline and subcontractor pricing critical to margin protection. Contractors unable to pass through cost increases face greater profitability dispersion on long-duration fixed-price projects.
Real Output Momentum
5.2% year-on-year, June 2026, Poland. The latest monthly construction and assembly production data indicate stronger execution momentum than the 2025 annual construction GVA increase. This supports improving utilization for contractors exposed to public works, civil engineering and large project backlogs.
