FAQs
Why should Dutch companies consider entering the Polish market?
Poland is one of the fastest-growing economies in the EU, supported by strong domestic demand, EU funding programs, and large-scale investments in mobility, infrastructure, and public space. For Dutch companies, it offers scale, growth potential, and access to public and municipal procurement opportunities
What is Poland’s economic growth outlook for 2026 and why does it matter?
Poland’s economy is forecast to continue expanding in 2026, with multiple reputable institutions projecting GDP growth broadly in the range of 3.4 – 3.7 percent. According to OECD projections, Poland is expected to post one of the highest GDP growth rates in the European Union at around 3.4 percent in 2026, supported by resilient domestic demand and investment. The European Commission’s autumn forecast similarly anticipates a solid expansion of about 3.5 percent in 2026, reflecting strong absorption of EU funds and ongoing economic momentum. These growth projections suggest that the Polish market will remain dynamic and attractive for foreign trade and investment, especially in sectors such as infrastructure, mobility, and industrial procurement.
Which industries are growing?
Poland’s economy is expected to maintain solid growth in 2026, with real GDP projected to expand by around 3.4–3.5 percent, keeping it among the faster-growing economies in the European Union. Growth is supported by strong domestic demand, rising investment—particularly from EU funds—and resilient private consumption, despite moderating inflation and export challenges. These conditions create a favourable environment for business expansion and trade partnerships.
In terms of industry dynamics, several sectors show particularly strong performance or growth potential in 2025 and beyond. Official data and industry reports highlight significant increases in machine and equipment manufacturing, metal production, and other industrial segments such as transport equipment, waste management and recycling, and broader manufacturing activity. At the same time, emerging industries like renewable energy (solar and wind), digital technologies, and advanced manufacturing exhibit high momentum.
For companies considering market entry, this means that although traditional strongholds such as infrastructure, mobility, and industrial B2B solutions remain attractive, every industry can find opportunities provided it is supported by thorough preparation, local market insight, and a structured entry strategy.
What are the main challenges when trading between the Netherlands and Poland?
The key challenges include differences in business culture, decision-making processes, local regulations, procurement procedures and language. Without local presence and understanding, Dutch companies often face delays, miscommunication or limited market traction
