Exclusive Domestic prices for beams and channels increased in 2025

In 2025, prices for hot-rolled sheet, angle bar, profile and round pipe fell slightly

According to last year’s results, prices for rolled steel products for construction varied in different directions. Prices for beams and channels increased, while prices for hot-rolled sheets, angles, round and profile pipes decreased. This is evidenced by the dynamics of the consolidated price index for construction steel products of the Ukrainian Steel Construction Center Association.

Most construction steel products saw a slight decrease in prices in 2025:

• hot-rolled sheet 5–14 mm – by 3.4% to UAH 35.1 thousand per ton;
• angle bar 63*5 – by 0.7% to UAH 33.6 thousand per ton;
• 100*4 profile pipe – by 0.4% to UAH 38.3 thousand per ton;
• 114*4 round pipe – by 0.4% to UAH 39.3 thousand per ton.

At the end of last year, prices for the following steel products in the construction range increased:

• beam No. 20 – by 7.8% to UAH 39.7 thousand per ton;
• channel bar No. 18 – by 5.1% to UAH 58.8 thousand per ton.

Prices for steel products largely depend on the level of demand, which has remained quite low since the beginning of the year. The growth in the volume of construction work performed in Ukraine over the first nine months of the year was 15.5% year-on-year. At the same time, the industry only turned positive last summer, as construction dynamics were still negative (−7.5% year-on-year) in January–May.

As reported by GMK Center, the consumption of steel products on the Ukrainian market (excluding polymer-coated rolled products, stainless rolled products, and tinplate) in the first half of 2025 increased by 13% year-on-year and reached 1.65 million tons.
