Poland boosts domestic firms in infrastructure projects amid rising construction demand
The Polish government is promoting the participation of domestic companies in large infrastructure contracts through a "local content" strategy. Prime Minister Donald Tusk signed a code of good practice that encourages state‑owned enterprises to increase the share of Polish components and services, aiming to enhance competitiveness, reduce reliance on foreign supply chains and strengthen economic resilience. Industry leaders stress the need for clear procurement criteria and warn that overly restrictive rules could limit material availability and logistics.
At the same time, market data from the Oferteo platform shows a sharp surge in consumer interest for construction services. Within a 24‑hour period in mid‑July, inquiries for timber‑frame houses jumped 133%, while traditional building, custom kitchens, bathroom remodels, PVC windows, interior painting and air‑conditioning also saw increases of 50‑80%. Experts note that faster, prefab building methods are attracting investors seeking predictable timelines and costs amid inflationary pressures.
