The self water supply to industry and construction in Poland has seen a notable decline from 2013 to 2023, from 7.44 to 6.06 billion cubic meters. Over the past decade, the sector experienced several fluctuations, with particular drops in 2017, 2018, and 2019. The year-on-year variations indicate a mix of declines and slight recoveries, with the most significant decrease in 2019 (-7.69%) and a modest recovery in 2021 (+7.49%). The last two years show negative growth rates, with -2.71% in 2022 and -1.16% in 2023. The cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years (2018-2023) stands at -2.12%.
Looking ahead from 2024 to 2028, the forecast predicts a continued decline with a 5-year CAGR of -0.87%, culminating in a 2028 value of 5.73 billion cubic meters. The forecasted decline reflects ongoing challenges in the sector, indicating a possible concern for sustainable water management in industrial and construction activities.
Future trends to watch for include the implementation of more efficient water usage technologies, regulatory changes affecting water sourcing and distribution, and the impact of climate change on water availability. Monitoring these factors could provide valuable insights for mitigating the predicted decline and ensuring sustainable water resource management for Poland’s industry and construction sectors.
