The weighted average price of dietary supplements in Ukrainian pharmacies from January through June 2026 rose by 36.36% compared to the same period last year—to 321.79 UAH per unit. This was reported to the Interfax-Ukraine news agency by Business Credit, citing the results of a pharmacy market study.
Sales of dietary supplements in monetary terms for the first half of the year increased by 15.77%—to nearly 13.516 billion UAH.
At the same time, in volume terms, sales decreased by 15.1%—to 42 million packages.
Thus, the increase in the monetary value of the dietary supplement market was accompanied by a sharp decline in the volume of goods sold and a significant rise in their average price.
