2026-2027 – Is this a good time to invest in healthcare and senior-focused projects?

The year 2025 brought clear macroeconomic stabilisation. According to Statistics Poland (GUS), the average annual CPI inflation in Poland amounted to 3.6%, and by the end of the year, in December, it fell to 2.4%, which is also confirmed by the forecasts of the National Bank of Poland (NBP). At the same time, GDP growth accelerated, improving the predictability of economic conditions for entrepreneurs and investors.

NBP forecasts for 2026–2027 indicate further inflation stabilisation and a relatively calm labour market, with unemployment at the level of 5.4–5.5% (source: Business Insider).
For medical facilities, this means less uncertainty and more opportunities for stable planning and development.

What does a more predictable inflation rate mean in practice?
More effective planning of long-term investments and contracts
– Realistic calculation of costs and project profitability
– Negotiations with suppliers without pressure from sudden price increases

In addition, funds from the National Recovery Plan (NRP/KPO) as well as EU grants remain available for the healthcare sector, facilitating financial planning for the modernisation of facilities—investments in infrastructure and medical equipment.

Poland is among the fastest-ageing countries in the EU, and the share of elderly people (65+) is steadily increasing, which translates into growing demand for healthcare and care services, including rehabilitation, diagnostics and long-term support.

If the forecasts are confirmed, the years 2026–2027 may be a good time for well-considered investments in healthcare, particularly in senior-focused projects that combine real social needs with long-term business stability.
