According to the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the government has approved the new Export Strategy of Ukraine for the period up to 2030. The document sets a target to increase total exports of goods and services to $85 billion, up from $48 billion in 2025, and provides for a significant reduction in the share of raw materials and low-processed goods. For industrial sectors, particularly metallurgy and related manufacturing, this means stronger state focus on higher value-added products, investments in processing, and expanded access to foreign markets.
Key Strategy Targets and Importance for Industry
The strategy focuses on boosting the production and export of goods and services with higher value added, as well as enhancing the competitiveness of Ukrainian companies in international markets. One of the key target metrics is reducing the share of raw materials and low-processed products in total exports from 87.3% to 59%, which effectively drives the development of the manufacturing and processing industries. The government also plans to increase the ratio of exports of goods and services to GDP to 33% and raise the share of services exports to 25% of the total export structure.
To achieve these goals, the document envisions developing medium- and high-tech manufacturing, stimulating investment in export-oriented enterprises, and removing tariff and non-tariff barriers. Key tools will include the expansion of export financing, the digitalization of services, and strengthening Ukraine's trade and economic representation abroad. The strategy is implemented in two stages: in 2026–2028, the focus is on creating favorable conditions for export development, while in 2029–2030, the emphasis will shift to scaling these changes.
Impact on the Metal Market and Solutions from winox.ua
For the metal products market, the new strategy serves as an important signal, as it supports the transition from raw material exports to the supply of products with higher technological and production value. According to GMK Center data, Ukrainian goods exports grew by 4.5% year-on-year in January–April, with metals and metal products ranking among the top three export categories at $1.3 billion. This confirms that metallurgy and metalworking remain foundational sectors for implementing the new export policy.
In such a market model, the role of suppliers capable of providing industrial companies with high-quality and certified rolled metal for value-added production is growing. In this context, winox.ua acts as a reliable partner for businesses working with stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and industrial solutions for processing and manufacturing. With expanding export opportunities, the stability of supplies, predictability of the product range, and compliance of metal products with modern standards become critical for companies targeting foreign markets.
If the strategy is fully implemented, the Ukrainian industrial sector will receive additional incentives for manufacturing modernization, local processing, and entry into more profitable export segments. For metal trading and manufacturing companies, this translates to increased demand for solutions that reduce production risks and maintain high quality in final products. This is why developing export infrastructure, investing in processing, and securing access to a reliable raw material base remain key competitiveness drivers for Ukrainian businesses up to 2030.
