In 2023, the volume of crude oil pipeline transport in Poland stood at 19.75 billion tonne-kilometers. Forecasted data indicate a gradual decline in volume from 2024 onward, starting at 19.6 billion tonne-kilometers and ending at 19.05 billion tonne-kilometers in 2028. This reflects a year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.7% between 2024 and 2025, and similar rates of decline in subsequent years, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period projected to be around -0.7%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in energy policy, advancements in alternative energy sources, and changes in domestic and international crude oil demand, which could impact the volume of pipeline transport. Monitoring geopolitical developments and technological innovations in the oil and gas sector will also be crucial.
