In 2025, Ukrainian ferroalloy enterprises increased their output by 17% y-o-y to 127,000 tons. For comparison, in pre-war 2021, ferroalloy enterprises produced 858.7 thousand tons of ferroalloys. 

The production of certain types of ferroalloys increased as follows:

  • silicomanganese – by 8.7% y/y – to 113.2 thousand tons;

Ukrainian ferroalloy enterprises exported 93,800 tons (+21.4% y/y) in 2025. The largest consumers of ferroalloy products during the period were Algeria (21.3 thousand tons), Poland (26 thousand tons, +24% y/y), Turkey (20.4 thousand tons, +87% y/y) and Italy (12 thousand tons, -29.1% y/y).

It should be recalled that in 2024, Ukrainian ferroalloy enterprises reduced their output by 49.4% y/y – to 108.2 thousand tons. In particular, silicon manganese production decreased by 45% y/y – to 104.2 thousand tons, and ferromanganese production decreased by 66.5% – to 3.6 thousand tons.
