With defence spending expected to reach 4.7% of Poland’s GDP in 2025, industrial firms are eyeing the sector as a growth opportunity. The defence budget for that year is set at PLN 187 billion, and Deloitte forecasts cumulative defence expenditures of PLN 1.9 trillion between 2025 and 2035 – more than double the amount spent in the previous decade (PLN 825 billion). The expanding needs of the Polish Armed Forces are now outstripping the capacity of traditional suppliers, creating space for new entrants.
