ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih PJSC, Ukraine’s largest mining and metallurgical company, managed to increase production across all product lines in 2025 compared to 2024. Production continues to take place under extremely high risks and restrictions caused by the war. Due to these factors, production results still differ from those planned and are still far from pre-war levels, according to the company’s press release.

Steel production last year increased by 2.3% compared to 2024, to 1.69 million tons, pig iron production increased by 16.9% y/y, to 2.53 million tons, and rolled steel production increased by 1.4% y/y, to 1.56 million tons. Coke production (6% moisture content) increased by 16.4% year-on-year to 1.46 million tons. Concentrate production decreased by 3.3% year-on-year – to 7.56 million tons, and ore mining decreased by 4.2% – to 18.39 million tons. Despite the gradual improvement in the company’s results, production volumes are significantly below pre-war levels – the gap reaches 30% in the mining department and 50-70% in the steel department.

The company’s key goal today is to maintain its market share, preserve production, jobs, and competitiveness.

In 2024, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih increased its pig iron production by 42.7% compared to 2023, to 2.17 million tons, and steel production by 69.9% y-o-y, to 1.65 million tons. Rolled metal production amounted to 1.53 million tons, up 72.1% year-on-year. Coke production increased by 48.5% year-on-year – to 1.25 million tons. Iron ore production increased by 68.3% y-o-y – to 19.19 million tons, and concentrate production increased by 71.7% y-o-y – to 7.82 million tons.

ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih is a full-cycle metallurgical enterprise in Ukraine. Its production capacity is designed for an annual output of over 6 million tons of steel, 5 million tons of rolled products, and 5.5 million tons of pig iron. The enterprise provides over 20,000 jobs.
