Blue Bolt, a Polish technology company developing hardware and software for managing common areas in buildings, completed around 70 new projects in 2025, an increase of more than 21% year-on-year. This result is above the growth projections for the global PropTech sector, which various analyses estimate at 10–17% annually. The company says it aims to return to the higher growth levels it achieved in earlier years.
Blue Bolt’s system is used by office and residential real estate operators and now supports 80,000 users across more than 400 projects in Poland and other countries. According to Global Industry Analysts, the global PropTech market was valued at USD 42.1 billion in 2024 and may reach USD 104.0 billion by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 16.3%. Grand View Research estimates the global access control market at USD 10.76 billion in 2024, with projected annual growth of 8.4% through 2030.
Maciej Grabowski, founder of Blue Bolt, notes that the broader technology market is undergoing a period of reassessment: “The technology solutions market is growing rapidly, but there are clear changes taking place. After a dynamic growth phase, when many new solutions appeared, it is clear that the usefulness of the tools currently on the market is being reviewed. Many of the new products offered by IT companies have not lived up to expectations, and customers are now much more conscious of their choices and business decisions in the field of technology, which is increasingly assessed in terms of the ratio of total costs to generated benefits. This is where we see our advantages – as always, we want to deliver real benefits and value to our users and customers. This allows us to look more calmly at long-term development. We are convinced that we can play a significant role in this process, as we are backed by hard statistics confirming the widespread use of our solutions in individual facilities. At the same time, the use of solutions offered by Blue Bolt is becoming the standard expected by users of both office and residential buildings. There is a clear change here compared to previous years.”
In 2025, the company recorded a 47% increase in platform users, along with a 55% rise in app-based “openings,” which include unlocking doors or granting access to rooms. Use of features integrated with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® increased by 148%. Blue Bolt says this reflects wider adoption of access control tools based on advanced smartphone functions. The company continued adding features including room reservations, parking management, space-sharing tools, communication modules, sauna control integration, and options that support GDPR-compliant anonymised access.
Mikołaj Jędryczka, Chief Operating Officer at Blue Bolt, highlights ongoing development of the platform: “The Blue Bolt application is constantly being developed, and last year we focused in particular on integration with external systems, increasing the range of possibilities for using our platform. We are also seeing growing demand for all kinds of application personalization from our partners who want to stand out by offering unique features within the Blue Bolt platform. In addition, we are expanding the administrative functionalities of the application to provide more comfort for those who manage common areas. It is worth mentioning, for example, the development of access management capabilities for visitors to the facility, with the option of integration with Google Wallet and Apple Wallet.”
Grabowski also points to shifting expectations among building users: “In both residential and office complexes, we are seeing more and more clearly how much the expectations of the new generation are changing in terms of comfort, easy access, flexibility, and the use of technology. Blue Bolt responds to these needs by allowing users to move around facilities without plastic cards, remote controls, or keys, while combining all the expected amenities associated with this and giving managers greater control over security while respecting privacy and complying with the GDPR.”
Blue Bolt develops its software in-house, and its devices are produced in Poland. The company cooperates with real estate market operators in Poland and Europe who are seeking systems that can be installed quickly and with minimal disruption.
