Abstract: The aim of the article was to determine service sector’s influence on the economic growth in Poland. The article describes various factors influencing the development of the third sector and its influence on economic processes. The consumer behaviours of clients – their expectations in relation to the service market, have been presented. The characterization was carried out based on secondary data and studies carried out by the authors. Based on the carried out research, it can be stated that 75% of service providers indicated ifficulties when setting up a service-oriented business.The existing service-oriented entitiesare of sufficient demand as confirmed by the 37% of service providers, which translates to direct satisfaction from the work of 62% of businesses. Characterized by the highest demand are medical,hairdressing and cosmetic services.It was alsoproven that the positive influence of services on the general condition of the economy has a direct effect on the increase in average employmentover a long period of time.

On the whole, they rate the quality of services in Poland as average. Among the analysed groups of respondents 60% believethat Poland’s accessiontothe EU had a significant influence onthe quality, variety and availability of services.
