Ukraine’s reconstruction is driving the growth of the metal products market for the construction industry.

The market for metal structures used in construction in Ukraine grew by 15% in 2024, reaching 91,000 tons. Last year, the construction segment in Ukraine accounted for 24% of total steel consumption, matching 2023’s figures. Analysts report that Ukraine’s metal structures market continues to recover following the crisis brought on by the war and its accompanying economic challenges.

The rise in metal structures consumption is linked to increased imports and the implementation of infrastructure projects. Despite these positive trends, the market faces several challenges, including electricity shortages, a lack of qualified personnel, and logistical difficulties.

In 2025, experts predict continued growth in metal structures consumption at a rate of 10-12%, reaching up to 102,000 tons, contingent on economic stabilization and obtaining additional funding for the country’s reconstruction. Key trends will include increased public procurement for infrastructure projects, restoration of the energy sector, and the construction of logistics and industrial centers.
