In 2024, Ukraine produced 7.1 million tons of cast iron, of which 1.3 million tons were exported. Apparent cast iron consumption increased to 5.8 million tons, a 21% rise compared to 2023 (4.8 million tons).

In the global ranking of net cast iron exporters, Ukraine climbed to 10th place with 3.4 million tons, up from 12th place in 2023 with 2.2 million tons.

Despite positive trends in cast iron production and exports, Ukraine remains outside the top-20 steel exporters – a status lost after 2021, when it exported 15.7 million tons of metal products and ranked 10th globally.
