Experts Club has analyzed the brick market in Ukraine and made a number of conclusions and forecasts. The brick market in Ukraine is gradually recovering from the destruction and recession caused by the full-scale war in 2022. In 2024, there was an increase in construction activity, especially in the residential and infrastructure construction segment, which provoked an increase in demand for bricks.
At the end of 2024, the market showed an increase in capacity by 18.5%. In the first half of 2024, production reached ~249 million bricks, up 20.4% compared to the same period in 2023. The annual production volume in 2024 was estimated at 500-520 million bricks, and in 2025 – 535-555 million bricks with a forecast growth of 7%.
The largest Ukrainian producers are concentrated in the central and western regions of the country. Due to the hostilities in 2022-2023, refractory brick factories in the east, such as Bilokamianske and Zymohirske, were destroyed or decommissioned.
However, a large part of traditional brick production managed to maintain or resume operations by 2024.
Imports.
Due to the destruction of production facilities and rising demand, Ukraine is increasing its brick imports. The main supplier countries are: Poland
Imported products are mainly sent to the western and central regions and are used in high-budget construction and decoration.
Market shares: imports vs. domestic production
Based on estimates for 2025:
This makes it possible to compensate for the shortage in some regions and support construction during the reconstruction period.
Prices.
Experts Club ‘s forecasts are as follows:
Brick factories operating in the government-controlled areas
There are more than 30 brick factories operating in the government-controlled areas, including ceramic, silicate and clinker. Among the largest are:
Currently, the products of these plants cover more than 70% of domestic demand for bricks in construction.
Major brick importers to Ukraine
To compensate for the deficit and ensure high quality in some market segments (refractory, clinker, facing), Ukraine imports products from
In 2024, the Ukrainian brick market entered a phase of active recovery. Domestic production provides the bulk of the output, but the share of imports remains significant and is growing. Restoration of the destroyed infrastructure, support from the government and international funds will continue to stimulate the market, and prices will stabilize closer to 2026.
