Industrial production in Ukraine in September 2026 decreased by 9.2% compared to the same month in 2025 after falling by 6.1% in August and 1.7% in July, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine (Derzhstat) reported on 3 November.
According to the statistical agency, in September compared to August 2026 industrial production increased by 2.7%.
Overall, in January-September 2026 the volume of industrial production decreased by 1.9% compared to the same period last year.
Thus, the decline in industrial production in annual terms is accelerating for the third month in a row. If in May growth was recorded at 0.3%, and in June at 1.1%, then already in July industry returned to negative dynamics.
Meanwhile, over the eight months of 2026 the decline in industrial production was 1%, and after accounting for the September results, it deepened to 1.9%.
The most negative dynamics over nine months were observed in metallurgical production, where the volume of product output decreased by 18.2%. In the production of coke and petroleum products, the decline was 18.1%, in the production of electrical equipment - 17.8%, in the supply of electricity, gas, steam, and conditioned air - 16.7%.
At the same time, some sectors demonstrated growth. In particular, the production of machinery and equipment increased by 36.5%, computers, electronic and optical products - by 17.1%, food products - by 2.8%, chemical products - by 2.7%.
Thus, Ukraine's industry shows mixed dynamics: growth in certain segments of mechanical engineering and processing is accompanied by a significant reduction in production in basic industrial sectors.
As reported, for the results of 2025 industry production in Ukraine decreased by 1.7%, while in 2024 growth of 4.7% was recorded.
