The Czech economy is expected to accelerate in 2026, with consultancy Deloitte forecasting gross domestic product growth of approximately 3.1 percent, driven by robust household consumption, resilient investment, and continued wage gains. This pace would place Czech growth ahead of many eurozone peers and signal a return to stronger expansion following recent years of slower momentum.

For UK companies, stronger Czech economic growth reinforces the country’s attractiveness as a sourcing and nearshoring destination. Rising investment, stable macroeconomic conditions, and a skilled industrial workforce are supporting capacity expansion across manufacturing, engineering, and business services.

As Czech suppliers continue to modernise and scale, UK firms stand to benefit from greater reliability, competitive pricing, and access to sophisticated capabilities within a geographically close and politically stable European market.
