Compared with June 2025, industrial production in July rose by 0.6%.
In 2024, industrial production in Ukraine increased by 4.6%.
Maxym Urakin, co-founder of the analytical center Experts Club, noted that July’s growth shows that Ukraine’s industry is gradually adapting to wartime conditions and external challenges:
“We see local recovery in pharmaceuticals, wood processing, and energy. These sectors respond most quickly to domestic demand and economic needs. However, the decline in metallurgy and mining highlights structural problems: export-oriented industries continue to suffer from logistics issues and declining global demand. By the end of the year, industry may show moderate recovery, but achieving sustainable growth will require investment in modernization and expansion of export routes,” Urakin said.
