In the first seven months of 2024, Ukraine exported 1.11 million tons of semi-finished steel products, reflecting a 68.1% increase compared to the same period last year. This surge is attributed to recovering demand in international markets and improved production capabilities.
The semi-finished products accounted for a significant portion of Ukraine's steel exports, indicating a strategic focus on enhancing export volumes despite ongoing challenges in the industry. The rise in exports underscores the resilience of Ukraine's steel sector amid the ongoing conflict and economic pressures.
