Maintenance expenditure on railway infrastructure in Poland stood at 2.53 Billion Zloty in 2023. This marked a slight year-on-year decrease of 1.63% compared to 2022. Over the last five years, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) was -1.63%, indicating a modest decline in spending.
From 2013 to 2023, expenditure showed fluctuations, with notable decreases in 2020 due to significant reductions amid global uncertainties. There was a partial recovery in 2021 with a 12.61% increase, then a general trend of stabilization around the 2.5 Billion Zloty mark.
Forecasts predict a gradual reduction in expenditure, reaching approximately 2.31 Billion Zloty by 2028. The forecasted 5-year CAGR is -1.41%, which aligns with a longer-term decline indicating careful future spending or efficiency improvements.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of new technologies and regulatory changes on maintenance practices, potential shifts in funding strategies, and the influence of economic conditions on infrastructure investment priorities. Close monitoring of these factors will provide insights into potential deviations from the forecasted expenditure trends.
