Ukraine’s trade turnover in 2025 amounted to $125.1 billion

Ukraine’s trade turnover for January-December 2025 amounted to $125.1 billion, according to data from the State Customs Service.

Last year, goods worth $84.8 billion were imported into the country, while exports amounted to $40.3 billion. At the same time, taxable imports amounted to $64.3 billion (76% of the total volume of imported goods).

Among the countries from which Ukraine imported the most goods in 2025 were China ($19.2 billion), Poland ($7.9 billion), and Germany ($6.6 billion). The largest exports from the country were to Poland ($5 billion), Turkey ($2.7 billion), and Germany ($2.4 billion).

The following categories accounted for the total volume of goods imported last year:

  • machinery, equipment, and transport – $34.1 billion,
  • chemical industry products – $12.5 billion,
  • fuel and energy products – $10.5 billion

The top three goods exported from Ukraine in 2025 were food products ($22.5 billion), metals and metal products ($4.7 billion), and machinery, equipment, and transport ($3.6 billion).

In January-December last year, UAH 1.53 billion was paid to the budget during customs clearance of exports of goods subject to export duties.

As a reminder, in 2024, Ukraine’s trade turnover grew by 13% compared to 2023, from $99.4 billion to $112.3 billion. During the year, goods worth $70.7 billion were imported into Ukraine, and goods worth $41.6 billion were exported.

As reported by GMK Center, analysts expect Ukraine’s GDP to grow to $226 billion in 2026. Amid shelling, rising tariffs, and a lack of new drivers, the Ukrainian economy can expect minimal growth at best.
