Earlier Report Observations

From 2018, the OSB market in Ukraine was in a prolonged stagnation phase, which led to a slight decrease in market volume to 281 thousand m³ by 2019. The beginning of global supply chain crises and rising logistics costs added pressure. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the market unexpectedly grew by 20% to 338 thousand m³, driven largely by a surge in domestic production.

In 2021, market volume fell by 27% to 248 thousand m³ as imports plummeted and exports rose. The full-scale war that started in February 2022 then caused a further 28% contraction to 179 thousand m³, as major producers were forced out of the market and logistics and energy costs soared.

By 2023, the market began to recover, increasing by 24% to 222 thousand m³. This turnaround was supported by a trend of renewed consumption in construction materials and a shift in demand toward energy-efficient solutions, where OSB is used as thermal insulation.
