Imports of electric batteries and separators to Ukraine in January–November 2025 increased by 52% compared to the same period last year and amounted to $1.232 billion, according to the State Customs Service.
China remains the main supplier, accounting for $900.2 million (73.2% of the total volume), followed by Vietnam ($96.7 million, 7.9%) and Taiwan ($54.2 million, 4.4%). For comparison, in 2024, China accounted for 83.2% of imports, while the Czech Republic and Bulgaria accounted for 2.8% and 2.7%, respectively.
In November 2025, battery imports grew by 43.6% compared to November 2024, reaching $177.7 million, which is also 22.6% higher than in October.
At the same time, Ukraine exported batteries worth $47.6 million, which is 26% more than a year earlier. The largest buyers were Poland (32.7%), Germany (13%), and France (11.5%).
The increase in imports of battery systems is explained by steady demand from energy companies, telecom operators, and household consumers, as well as the effect of state subsidies for battery imports, approved in July 2024.
By the end of 2024, total imports of batteries to Ukraine had more than doubled to $950.6 million, and in 2025, they continue to grow rapidly thanks to the modernization of the energy system and the development of the market for autonomous power sources.
