Withdrawal of Bosch factory in Poland caused by declining heat pump market
Bosch has halted construction of its planned PLN 1.2 billion heat pump factory in Dobromierz, citing political and economic uncertainty in Europe and a sharp drop in demand. Poland’s heat pump market shrank by 35% in 2024, driven by high energy prices, issues with the Clean Air subsidy program, and certification delays. Analysts stress this is not a signal of weakening investment climate in Poland, which continues to attract major foreign projects, though setbacks like Intel’s withdrawal highlight challenges.
Industry experts believe Bosch’s pause may be temporary, as long-term demand remains strong. Rival firms, including Aira and Daikin, are still expanding in Poland.
