Forecasts for construction market and major segments

Construction market in Poland 2024-2031

The “Construction market in Poland” report is our main publication. The report is focused on the future of the broadly-defined construction market, while also presenting the historical time series. Proprietary seven-year forecasts for the three main segments of the construction market – residential, non-residential and civil engineering – as well as several sub-segments, such as single-family buildings, multi-dwelling buildings, collective accommodation buildings, hotels, office buildings, retail buildings, public buildings, production plants, storage facilities, roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, power-generation facilities, and transmission and distribution networks are the key component of the report.

Lists of several dozen major projects underway and planned in individual segments are salient components of the report. All in all, the report presents a comprehensive set of over 800 major projects, arranged in tables, that will drive growth in individual sub-segments of the construction market in the coming years.

Expert commentaries also form a valuable feature of the report as they provide additional insights for a better understanding of the current and future market situation and help identify opportunities and threats facing market players. We take a holistic approach to construction market research so that the report incorporates information useful for companies engaged in large-scale construction and firms busy with small projects alike.
