In 2024, JSC "Ukrpost" increased the volume of international shipments by 41% compared to 2023, reaching 36 million shipments in both export and import directions.
According to Yulia Pavlenko, the director of the international operations department at "Ukrpost", this data was recorded as of December 17, 2024. For comparison, in 2023, the number of tracked shipments was 25.5 million.
Pavlenko stated that imports dominate: over the year, 32 million packages were received in Ukraine, primarily from foreign marketplaces, such as Chinese platforms, where products are often cheaper than in Ukraine.
Exports constitute a smaller portion but hold strategic importance, as they showcase products from Ukrainian manufacturers on international markets, particularly handmade goods.
Yulia Pavlenko noted that Ukraine ranks ninth in sales volume on the largest handmade platform in the USA. On Etsy, 38,000 Ukrainian artisans have already opened their own shops.
