Over 85% of industrial companies in Ukraine do not plan to cut their production before 2027.

According to a survey by the Institute for Economic Research, 85.6% of business respondents intend to maintain their current production levels over the next two years. An additional 12.1% plan to increase production, while less than 2% expect to decrease it. This marks the highest level of production stability since October 2022. In June, the percentage of companies that increased production rose from 19.5% to 22.6%, while those that reduced it fell from 13.5% to 11.6%.

The security situation continues to be the main obstacle to business growth. Risks related to war, missile strikes, and threats to physical infrastructure were identified as the primary concerns by 58% of respondents. The same percentage of businesses also cited a lack of qualified workers, which analysts note has been a persistent obstacle for over a year. Inflation remains another significant challenge; specifically, 42.8% of companies expect further increases in raw material and supply prices, and 42.4% anticipate higher prices for finished products.
