Producer prices for business services in Poland rose by 0.5 percent in the second quarter of 2025 compared with the previous quarter, according to preliminary figures from Statistics Poland. On an annual basis, service prices increased by 3.6 percent compared with the second quarter of 2024.
The strongest quarterly increases were observed in security and investigation activities, where prices rose by 1.6 percent, and in employment services, which recorded a 1.1 percent increase. Real estate services, information services, management consultancy, and rental and leasing activities also saw price growth of 0.7 to 0.8 percent. By contrast, declines were recorded in travel agency and related services (down 1.0 percent), programming and broadcasting (down 0.5 percent), publishing (down 0.2 percent), and computer programming and consultancy (down 0.1 percent).
Year-on-year comparisons showed more significant changes. Prices for security and investigation services increased by 8.2 percent, while motion picture, video, and television production, along with sound recording and music publishing, saw growth of 6.1 percent. Services to buildings and landscaping rose by 5.2 percent. Smaller increases were recorded in rental and leasing activities (0.2 percent), architectural and engineering services including technical testing and analysis (2.5 percent), and advertising and market research (2.8 percent). Prices fell compared with a year earlier in programming and broadcasting services, which dropped by 4.5 percent, and in travel agency and tour operator services, which fell by 0.8 percent.
The data illustrate ongoing divergence between sectors, with demand pressures pushing up prices in areas such as security, media production, and building-related services, while tourism-related activities and broadcasting continue to face weaker conditions.
