The crude oil pipeline freight transit traffic in Poland experienced fluctuations between 2013 and 2023, oscillating between a high of 15.12 billion tonne kilometers in 2016 and a low of 11.81 billion tonne kilometers in 2021. The year-on-year variations indicate that the most significant declines were in 2021 and 2019, while notable growth was observed in 2015 and 2020. By 2023, the transit traffic declined to 12.26 billion tonne kilometers, showing a slight decrease from the previous year.
Looking forward, the forecasted data predicts a gradual decline in crude oil pipeline freight transit traffic. The projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2028 is -1.75%, leading to a cumulative decrease of 8.46% over these five years, with volumes expected to drop to 10.98 billion tonne kilometers by 2028.
Future trends to watch for include the potential impacts of energy transition policies, shifts to alternative energy sources, and geopolitical changes that may influence crude oil demand and supply dynamics. The ongoing development of transportation infrastructure and technological advancements in pipeline logistics should also be closely monitored.
