The research report “Industry Development Trends and Forecast in CEE” provides a comprehensive overview of the transformation of key industrial sectors in Central and Eastern Europe and addresses the question of which factors will shape industrial development in the coming years.

The study goes beyond tracking current trends to demonstrate how they may reshape the region’s competitive landscape and the allocation of capital. Key areas of focus include:

• Energy transition and decarbonization – how the shift towards green energy and stricter EU climate policies are changing cost structures and driving industrial modernization;

• New supply chains – the growing role of CEE countries as alternative production hubs amid geopolitical turbulence and global trade realignment;

• Technological transformation – the impact of automation, digital platforms, and artificial intelligence on productivity and employment;

• Investment in resilience – capital flows redirected towards industries linked to renewable energy, raw material recycling, and resource efficiency;

• The social factor – how labor shortages and migration flows are shaping new challenges for industrial growth.

The report combines macroeconomic and sectoral analysis, identifies “growth points” in machinery, metallurgy, chemicals, and construction, and evaluates long-term risks for traditional industrial segments.

Special emphasis is placed on forecasts through 2030: from opportunities for high-tech production localization to the impact of new EU standards on the competitiveness of national companies.
