Ukraine’s construction and reconstruction boom is fueling a noticeable rise in steel structure consumption. Ukraine has witnessed a 15% year-on-year increase in 2024, with usage reaching 91,000 tons, according to the Ukrainian Steel Construction Center (USCC)—up from the same figure recorded
Industry experts forecast a further 10–12% rise in 2025, bringing projected consumption to around 102,000 tons. This anticipated growth hinges on continued economic stabilization and ongoing international financing for reconstruction projects.
The momentum comes despite several pressing challenges. Enterprises face constraints due to restricted energy supplies caused by persistent attacks on critical infrastructure. Additionally, a shortage of skilled labor stemming from increased mobilization and migration—as well as ongoing logistical hurdles, are affecting the pace of development in the steel structures sector.
Nevertheless, Ukraine’s construction sector is showing strong signs of revival. In 2024, the volume of construction works surged by 15.5% year-on-year, totaling UAH 204.7 billion. In dollar terms, the market reached $5.1 billion, marking a 14.6% increase from the previous year. However, this remains significantly below pre-war levels, down 45.2% compared to $9.3 billion in 2021.
With the steel structure market closely tied to the country’s rebuilding efforts, continued investment and policy support will be essential in sustaining this growth trajectory.
