Limited access to bank financing in Poland is creating opportunities for private equity (PE) investors, particularly in sectors like healthcare, new technologies, real estate, logistics, and renewable energy.

The Polish private equity market is gradually recovering, with an increase in transactions in resilient sectors.

“The COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, as well as high inflation and rising costs of capital have forced funds to change and adapt to rapidly changing external conditions,” says Jakub Marcinkowski, the partner heading the Private Equity team at DLA Piper in Poland. “We see a greater segmentation of the Polish private equity market, but the key point is that there are still many attractive investment targets on the market.”

The advantages that private equity investment offers over traditional loans is more flexible financing terms and that funds have a better understanding of specialized industries.

The health care and life sciences industry in Poland is attracting PE investors due to expected demand growth and opportunities for innovation.

Real estate and logistics, including warehouse space and retail parks, are also of interest to funds, along with riskier areas like data centers and health care facilities.

Poland's renewable energy market is an important target for private equity investment, with medium and long-term prospects in photovoltaic and wind energy projects, energy storage, and new technologies.
