The public water supply to industry and households in Poland experienced varying trends from 2013 to 2023. Actual data shows a steady increase from 1.52 billion cubic meters (2013) to 1.64 billion cubic meters (2023). The year-on-year variation reflects fluctuations, with notable years such as a 5.12% increase in 2018 and a 2.38% decrease in 2020. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years to 2023 displayed a slight decline of -0.34%, indicating a relatively stable but non-growing trend.
From 2024 onwards, forecasts suggest a moderate increase, with a steady value of 1.64 billion cubic meters until 2026, followed by a slight uptick to 1.65 billion cubic meters in 2027 and 2028. The projected CAGR until 2028 is anticipated to be 0.1%, signifying a stable outlook with minimal growth, while the 5-year growth rate is projected at 0.52%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of regulatory changes in water use, technological advancements in water efficiency, and shifts in industrial demand which could influence water supply dynamics in both the short and long term.
