The public water supply to the manufacturing sector in Poland showed considerable fluctuations between 2013 and 2023. It peaked at 22.3 million cubic meters in 2014 before falling to 15.52 million cubic meters in 2016. In the following years, the values gradually showed recovery, reaching 21.79 million cubic meters in 2021. By 2023, the public water supply stood at 19.78 million cubic meters, demonstrating a slight decrease from the previous year.
Year-on-year variations highlight significant shifts, with a notable 78.4% increase in 2014 followed by a sharp decrease of 16.14% in 2015. The period between 2018 and 2023 showed more stable changes, with year-on-year variations settling into single digits. The recent two-year trend indicates a declining growth rate, with a decrease of 0.3% in 2023 compared to 2022.
Over the last five years, the supply exhibited an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.25%, reflecting some level of stability in contrast to earlier years. Looking ahead, the forecasted data up to 2028 suggests a marginal reduction in public water supply, with the five-year CAGR expected to decline slightly by 0.14%, indicating an overall trend towards stabilization but at slightly lower volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of environmental policies, technological advancements in water recycling and usage efficiency, and fluctuations in manufacturing activities that could influence water demand. Close monitoring of regulatory changes and advancements in water conservation technologies will be crucial in understanding future supply dynamics.
