Exports to Ukraine more than doubled in ‘24 from ‘21
Trade between Poland and Ukraine has surged in recent years, significantly accelerated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Since 2021, Poland’s exports to Ukraine have more than doubled, reaching €9.4 billion in the first three quarters of 2024, up from €6.3 billion in 2021, according to the Polish Economic Institute (PIE). Ukraine now accounts for 3.6% of Poland’s exports, compared to 2.1% in 2021, making it Poland's seventh-largest export market.
Key export items include fuels, vehicles, machinery, weapons, and defense-related products. Even excluding war-related categories, exports remain 30% higher than pre-war levels. PIE highlighted the need to upgrade transport infrastructure to support this growing trade and emphasized that EU-Ukraine integration could further benefit Poland economically.
