Zaporizhkoks, one of Ukraine’s largest coke producers, reduced its output by 1.4% year-on-year in the first five months of 2025, producing 357.7 thousand tons of metallurgical coke. The decline reflects ongoing market adjustments and demand fluctuations in the steel sector.
Despite the overall decrease, April saw a 5.5% month-on-month increase in production, indicating some recovery in operational activity. The company continues to optimize its production strategy to align with evolving market conditions.
Zaporizhkoks plays a crucial role in Ukraine’s steel industry, supplying coke to major metallurgical enterprises. The company has been implementing efficiency measures to maintain stable output levels while navigating economic challenges.
Industry analysts are monitoring production trends closely, as fluctuations in coke supply can impact steel manufacturing costs and availability. Market participants expect further adjustments in response to demand shifts and raw material pricing.
