In Poland, the building materials market is experiencing a significant price adjustment. According to a report from businessinsider.pl on April 17, the March data showed that the price of building materials in the Polish market dropped by an average of 3.2% compared to the same period last year. This trend is more pronounced in the wholesale sector, with a discount range of up to 4.1% and a discount range of 2.6% in the retail sector.

According to data released by the PSBHandel Group, the market has seen a significant drop in prices for various products ranging from directed tiles to wood, with prices for some varieties falling by as much as 22.6%. In addition, the price drop for roof and drainage materials reached 6.7-7.8%. However, not all products experienced a price drop; the price of paint and paint rose 3.3%, the price of cement and pesticide also rose 2%, while the price of wood remained almost unchanged, rising only 0.1%.

In Poland, spring is typically the season of growing demand for building materials, but this year’s fall in prices may indicate that market demand is not as strong as expected. According to industry analysis, comparative data in March and February showed the biggest fall in prices for roof and drainage products, at 3.7%, while insulation materials prices reversed by 1.9%. In the 20 product varieties analyzed, five varieties showed rising prices, and the rest showed a downward trend.

In addition, sales data also provided more details of market dynamics. According to the analysis of data for February and March, sales of roof paper grew by 25.8 percent, cement sales grew by 8.2 percent, plastic door windows grew by 4.6 percent, paint and paint grew by 3.5 percent, and fiber plates grew by 0.1 percent. Meanwhile, sales of cement fell by 13.2 percent, and wood door windows fell by 1.6 percent.

Economists analyze that the fall in building materials prices reflects the impact of a number of factors. First, the global supply chain has gradually recovered after the epidemic shock, leading to an increase in material supply. Second, economic uncertainty may lead to delays in building projects, thereby reducing material demand. In addition, technological progress and improved production efficiency may also be key factors in reducing costs and prices.
