In 2024, no less than 55 industrial parks were created in Ukraine, said Valeriy Kyrylko, owner of the Industrial Parks of Ukraine group of companies. Thirty-one of these parks were included in the Register of Industrial Parks. This is the largest one-year increase in the entire sector’s development history. The previous high-water mark was 13 industrial parks in a year.
Last year, new industrial parks were registered in 15 regions of Ukraine. The largest numbers were in the Lviv and Zakarpattia regions – six and five parks, respectively. Thirteen industrial parks were created by municipal initiators, 18 by private ones; 60% of new industrial parks are located on greenfield sites, 40% on brownfield sites.
“One of the key indicators of the quality of the industrial parks registered in 2024 was that even before registration, almost 70% of them already had investors, potential participants, or management companies,” Kyrylko notes.
