Iron or steel wire grill, netting and fencing coated with plastic market in Poland

Earlier Report Observations

The Polish market for plastic-coated steel wire grill, netting and fencing expanded to 34 476 t in 2019 before entering a phase of gradual contraction, declining to 32 199 t by 2022.

A pronounced downturn followed in 2023, with market volume plummeting 24.5% to 24 299 t. This sharp decline was driven by global supply chain disruptions and rising costs for key raw materials like steel and plastic, which elevated production expenses and constrained demand. Concurrent competition from alternative materials such as stainless steel wire further pressured the market. In 2024, volume stabilized at 24 078 t, as ongoing raw material price volatility was counterbalanced by technological advances in corrosion-resistant and durable plastic coatings, which helped sustain product appeal.
