Ukraine increased furniture exports by 15.7% compared to 2023. The average annual growth rate of exports over the last 5 years (2020 - 2024) was 3,8%.

Due to its position at the geographical centre of Europe, a large resource base and a free trade agreement with the EU, Ukraine has all the prerequisites to become the European centre of the furniture business.

Due to expanding domestic production, furniture imports are declining while exports are growing. Currently, our main trade partners are in the EU (Poland, Germany, Denmark, Austria and others), but we anticipate growth in exports to Israel, the UK (due to recent free trade agreements with these countries) and the United States, where representatives of the Ukrainian furniture sector are already regular exhibitors at the High Point Market trade show.

Ukrainian producers cover the full spectrum of furniture-making activities – from logging to the manufacture of wood-based panels and finished products. Ukraine has sufficient forestry resources to meet its own needs, including woodworking and wood processing industries. The annual volume of timber harvested is over 15 million cubic metres.

Ukrainian furniture manufacturers have considerable experience of working with international partners. Ukrainian furniture products are supplied to international DIY chains and e-commerce platforms, including marketplaces such as JYSK, Amazon, eBay, Auchan, Metro and Praktiker. Ukrainian furniture manufacturers create custom furniture, in particular for the HoReCa segment (food service and hotels) and for public facilities and offices, for example Facebook, Royal Beach, Hilton, Radisson Blu, Fairmont Grand Hotel, Mall of Dubai, the Ministry of Defence of Saudi Arabia and Al Badie Group residential units.
