New Market Research Report: Poland Freight Transport Report Q2 2015

Positive Outlook for Freight Transport in Poland

We continue to predict growth for Polish freight transport in 2015. In most modes volumes will edge slightly ahead of the pace of expansion experienced in 2014. This will come on the back of slightly faster GDP and trade growth in the country. Some freight modes will have the additional benefit of increases in capacity or extra demand because of Poland's role as a gateway into north-eastern Europe. Reflecting the rapid development of its capacity, as well as its good business links, the port of Gdansk will see gross tonnage growth of 6.1%. Road freight will also do well, with cargo volume up by a healthy 4.8%.

We have edged up our outlook for the Polish economy relative to our last quarterly report, although we remain below consensus. We believe GDP will expand 3.2% in 2015 (3.1% previously) after estimated growth of 3.1% in 2014 (2.8% previously). One of the biggest drivers of growth is government spending ahead of parliamentary elections, expected in October. Before resigning to take a new post in the European Council, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced a public spending package and we expect his successor Ewa Kopacz to honour this pledge. Household consumption is also positive although it has struggled to gain momentum. Exports are somewhat more under pressure, particularly as we have reined in our forecasts for Germany, a key Polish export market.
