Trade in goods of Ukraine in 2025 remained highly concentrated and with a pronounced import bias.

The top ten countries form about two thirds of the total trade volume, and China alone accounts for almost a fifth of the turnover.

China became the largest partner of Ukraine in terms of trade turnover in the TOP-50 sample – $21.04 billion, with imports of $19.23 billion and exports of $1.82 billion, the negative balance amounted to $17.41 billion.

Poland took 2nd place in terms of trade turnover – $13.02 billion, Germany is in 3rd place – $9.06 billion, followed by Turkey – $8.95 billion and the USA – $5.69 billion.

The study also notes the role of markets where Ukraine has a positive trade balance, as well as the importance of trade hubs and logistics. In particular, among the directions that can potentially give a quick increase with reduced logistics costs and stable operation of sea routes, countries are highlighted where exports already exceed imports, as well as European logistics hubs through which part of Ukrainian flows pass.

Speaking about the prospects for 2026, the key factors highlighted are the conditions of access to EU markets, institutional agreements with regional partners and logistics, including the security of sea routes.
