Forecast: Rail Infrastructure Investment in Poland

From 2013 to 2023, Poland's rail infrastructure investment exhibited significant fluctuations. It decreased dramatically by 79.95% from 2013 to 2014, then surged by 533.53% in 2015. This erratic trend continued until 2017, when investments started to stabilize at higher levels. For instance, from 2019 to 2023, investments remained relatively consistent, peaking at $19.25 per inhabitant in 2023 with a modest year-on-year growth of around 1.06% and a 5-year CAGR of 7.62%. This suggests recent investments are steadier and trending upwards.

Looking ahead, the forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicate a stable growth in rail infrastructure investment, with a cumulative average growth rate of 0.81%. This points towards a gradual increase in investments, up to $20.25 per inhabitant by 2028. The projected 5-year growth rate stands at 4.1%, indicating a continued but slower pace of growth.

Future trends to watch for include:

- Government policies and funding initiatives impacting infrastructure investment levels.
- Technological advancements in rail infrastructure leading to efficiency gains.
- Economic factors such as GDP growth that may influence public expenditure on rail.
