Country Industry Forecast - The Poland Environmental Industry

Frost & Sullivan, March 2006

The environmental industries of North America, western Europe and Japan, while continuing to account for the bulk of the global market, have already peaked and growth in these regions is now stagnant. As a result, the future of the global environment industry depends on the developing countries of eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia. Moreover, environmental regulations, a vital growth factor in the industry, have become stringent in the European Union (EU). The industry’s growth is also heavily influenced by the integration of business decisions with environmental issues, decreasing global trade barriers as well as increasing globalisation, resulting in greater awareness of environmental issues and problems. Eastern European countries have already begun investing heavily in environmental technologies and cleaner production facilities in line with the greater integration of the EU economies with the global economy.
Despite having become a free market economy, Poland has had to work hard to nullify the environmental after-effects of the intense industrialisation of earlier communist eras. To become an economically powerful east European country with maximum participation in major environment protocols, Poland adopted a policy of economic growth with sustainable development. These moves saw Poland become a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1999 and a member of the EU in 2004. Since its accession to the EU, there has been a sweeping trend of higher exports and greater integration with western European countries. A wave of privatisation has flooded the market with small- and medium-sized enterprises. Both exports and imports have risen tremendously and this excellent growth rate of the economy is likely to be sustained for several years.
By following a policy of economic liberalization since the 1990s, Poland has become one of the largest economies in the central and eastern European (CEE) region with a GDP (at market prices) of $291.7 billion in 2005. This study analyses the Polish environmental industry in the context of the prevalent political climate, related policy changes and shifting economic trends. It also includes in-depth assessments of specific industry segments as well as evaluations of growth patterns and prospects. The study also offers forecasts from 2006-2009 for major economic and environmental indicators.
